NDR: Emu family

[alcina]

One of the "local" emu dads has some new babies. He was not amused the other day when I tried to take some photos, so yesterday when hubby rang me to let me know where they were, I popped a longer lens on I am not brave!

The chicks move surprisingly fast...the one on the right with his head down RAN over as I was trying to get the other two and I ended up chopping off Lazy's butt (but I did get him blinking!)
