Macropus giganteus
The kangaroo featured in the first two shots had picked up a passenger - a Willie Wagtail! These roos were in a field near the Charleville Observatory.

Oh, I see that a LOT in books. That wagtail is eating parasites off the kangaroo. :)
Nice moment.. what a bonding..!!
Hi Alice, I think the Willie Wagtail was just sitting there for some reason. You don't really see birds sitting on kangaroos much.
Is the Wagtail cleaning his coat? If so this picture would go in the Symbiotic Mission. I have never seen a bird on a Kangaroo before -is this normal? Nice series!
