Canberra - fauna

Every morning there is a magpie singing outside my window.  It sounds like this:



Today after the conference  a colleague at ANU took us for a drive through the capitol district and then to a nearby park.  There are kangaroos just hanging around in the park, off the side of the road.




They hang around in packs numbering eight to a dozen, grazing on the grass. They are quite tame. You can get fairly close before they hop away.  Here is a video I took of some hopping.
