Ozzie memories 4 - Odds n Ends 2: 'Water birds' and an Emu (Summer 2008)

Crested Tern Thalasseus bergii

Red-capped Plover Charadrius ruficapillus

Australian White Ibis Threskiornis moluccus

female Dusky Moorhen Gallinula tenebrosa

male Dusky Moorhen Gallinula tenebrosa

Emu Dromaius novaehollandiae

Jabiru (Black-necked Stork) Ephippiorhynchus asiaticus

Pacific Black Duck Anas superciliosa

Pied Heron Ardea picata

Purple Swamphen Porphyrio Porphyrio

White-faced Heron Egretta novaehollandiae 

  It was quite satisfying and a bit unnerving coming face-to-face with an Emu.
