I was shooting a Bower of a Great Bowerbird near Mareeba on the Atherton Tablelands, Queensland, Australia recently when a Rock Wallaby took an intense interest in my rig. I don't know if he liked the brand or was chortling because I had the wrong f number or he thought he had discovered a new species.

The area has large granite boulders and that is one he is sitting on.

LOL! I think he wishes the tripod was lower so he could get a look through the viewfinder too.

I think he's saying 'You're pointing the wrong way, look at ME!'

Thanks for the laugh Graeme!

Graeme,

Great pose with the little Wallaby looking up, appearing to be thinking about your Canon camera and lens--it's quite humorous. Excellent capture of such unusual behavior. Also, I'm fond of the little camera you used to capture this frame. I have one and just love it.

Wonderful, fun capture! The Wallaby is so small, didn't realize there were species this size.
