An Emu arrived in the clearing around a dam with a large entourage of chicks, and on noticing us immediately ran to the next treeline leaving the little ones in a bit of confusion
Initially they formed a huddle hidden in the grass nearby, given away by their peeping calls
Then they made a break for it running around and through us back to their dad and all was well
