I was going to post a picture of my sunset kransky in bread on the beach to show off but..

Then this happened on the way back:

I was riding back from the dog beach on a very loud trike.. this little one just walked in front and headed to the dog drinking bowl. It did not care about me at all.

Took this from about 50cm away. Guessing it is an orphaned juvenile. It did not give a single fuck. I've never seen that. huh.

Might be sick or very stressed.

I wonder.. no flight response at all.

Seemingly in good condition:

Hopefully it’s just somewhat used to humans and was just very thirsty. The ones in my front yard are happy to sit on the nbn cable and watch me water the garden from only a couple of metres distance

For a ringie that's pretty hefty. Def been in a good paddock. Might be a youngster heading out between territories looking for a territory of his/her own.
