A Kangaroo in the garden!

Yesterday it poured raining pretty much all day In the morning I was taping up the window frames ready for painting when the phone rang. As I stood talking by the window I gasped in Surprise as I noted a Kangaroo on the Corner across the road! Very shortly after he made his way over to our place and settled in for the day.

Through our front blinds

Taken through the glass.

He was only Young ( in my inexpert judgement ) I decided that based on his size, which was not as tall as me and his features don't seem square or mature enough. After I took the pics in the morning I thought he moved on but as we headed out to pick Miss up from School we saw him under a large tree/shrub he came out again grazing for another couple of skittish hours in the afternoon.

closer to the house in the afternoon. Flower pots on front steps.

He happily ate grass, rejected the Agapanthus he started to sample as he walked through the garden. He seemed to most enjoy and perhaps seek out more persistently something tough that grew very close to the ground. I'm wondering if it was dandelion.

That was our entertainment for yesterday.

Its certainly not everyday a Kangaroo stops by your suburban home and makes himself at home in your garden all day.
