Thank you Taun! They will often just sit down in the same place all night when the weather is bad , and usually you can walk up to them without them moving, to a distance of about six foot (which is about their flight distance generally). This Rhea obviously decided that once up she really wasnt too keen to move about on this horrible white stuff!! Z.
Many thanks Taun and Zoogiraffe much appreciated!! I guess its just being in the right place at the right time. Iam lucky that I can get photos from either close range or from a different "angle" compared to most "zoo visitors". Thanks again, Z.
