Two emus grazing over in the old sheep yards. Supreme Emu failed to get a good clip.

We're mid-winter now. The storms are not wild, but they roll in relentlessly, at half-hour intervals, from the south west, for days at a time. The pair in question was grazing in the brief sunshine.

And: there's no doubt that emus like the grass that grows where there's sheep poo. Over at the old Oudman place, the emus jump the fence to get into the old holding yards, where the sheep-poo grass is lush.

Top of the driveway this morning:

a Dad with newly-hatched chicks. (No chance of photo)

Dad doing the tiny-steps walk. Counted 6-7 chicks.

And a guy in town works out at Lake Grace, several hundred kilometres north east, and says he's seen baby chicks in recent weeks.

So, good data.
