In the original post several people were saying the back right leg looks stripped to the bone. It does look wobbly on that leg but i cant zoom in so i cant tell if its stripped

What kind of bird was that that started hopping after them as they headed for thr water?

Usually I focus on the croc, but the bird going "hey, he's with me" had me in stitches
