User's notes

While photographing the White-faced Heron above I was able to get some shots of this Swamp Wallaby. This individual appeared out of some light bush on the bank above the heron. It looked like it would come straight down to the river to drink but then it started moving along the rocks beside the river. It was very cautious, stopping every few steps to smell.
