Brooce, an old-man grey kangaroo apparently rejected by his mob, is spending his retirement years (?) in my back garden. He drinks from the bird bath, nestles in among native shrubs, grazes the lawn, and suns himself until he gets too hot before shuffling off into the shade. It's a kangaroo's life 😆
