Awesome visitor Lyn.
Must have been the day for surprises, I went to collect MIL from the nursing home this afternoon and as I got to the top of the steps I was startled by a Rosella sitting on top of a wheely bin right beside the bannister, I was within a foot of him and he didn't even fly away when I spoke to him! He was so beautiful but stupidly I never thought to get a photo. It was such a special moment as I bet yours was too. Isn't nature wonderful!
hugs n love, Marg

What a wonderful moment for you. Are they very dangerous when confronted? The only things we get in the garden occasionally are baboons. I am terrified of them.......

Beautiful! I think he/she was hoping for a dinner invitation. Or checking out to see what gourmet items were growing in your garden.

Great picture.

What a surprise!

wow... that is a nice surprise..... glad you got a picture...

This is a pleasant surprise!! Lovely, thank you very much for sharing!

You must not be from Florida! LOL. What a wonderful treat!!

Nice!! nature is always a pleasure to look at.! Suzanne

Beautiful photo!

wow, that's great !

i have never seen a real one thanks for the great pic hugs Carolyn

this is just one of the very special things I love about living in Australia,great photo

Even living in Australia you do not see that very often. Lucky you

Great to get photos like this. Thanks for sharing. Hugs

Fantastic!! Thanks Lynn for sharing/Lillian

It is lovely to see the animals that come sailing over the fence. : -)
He joey must be almost full grown as her pouch is hanging down a long way.
No kangaroos here, but I did see a Racing Pigeon the other day. It stayed for a quick break on our side fence.

Oh you have such neat animals over your way! How long does the baby live in the pouch? Thanks for sharing.

A very lucky mumma to find a good home to graze at and lucky you being there at the right time. Marian

What a precious picture Lynn! Isn't our wildlife fantastic? At our friend's John and Deirdre's place in the Hunter Valley there are stacks of Wallabies (small version of the Kangaroo for our overseas Cuties) who come and visit at dawn and dusk. She is really a stunning looking specimen. Hope she comes back for another visit. Our baby Kookaburra flew the nest this morning and is now out the back with the parents. Love Chris

A great visitor Lynn and one I am not likely to see in my garden as if I did it would have escaped from the zoo. You are growing tasty food?

She is definitely more welcome than a baboon would be! I too hope she continues to return and I am sure that she has learned over the years that you are not to be feared as you have continued to talk to her and caused her no harm. Even though we live in a small rural town in coastal Southern Oregon the most we generally see are deer who love our fruit trees and occasionally racoons and very rarely small bear or even Elk if you are out driving and happen to see them. There is other wildlife but they generally are never seen, like the cougars which I hope never to see in our neighborhood. With your terrible drought she was likely looking for any sweet morsel for her and her joey. Thanks for the wonderful photo.

Lucky you having the camera nearby,usually by the time you get the camera the subject has moved or disappeared.

Wow! us Americans will never see this . He looks as if he is caught red handed. Kay

We have Kangaroo's visiting daily around sun rise & sunset they love fruit & damp grass we also have a bowl of water for all animals & birds. you need to be up early to see them as they will take off when they hear you

Wow! That is so excellent! It would certainly make my day!

This is a magic moment. A lot of overseas visitors to Australia seem to think kangaroo's hop down every street and there is a Koala in every tree (not so). It is very exciting for us to see our wildlife so close to our homes. Great picture. Hugs Marg

How lovely, and yes I thought that there was one down every street.
Hugs pam.
