Re: They can't fly but they can swim
Strange and interesting! I assume they went for a dip voluntarily ........ perhaps it's their way of getting rid of parasites like mites, ticks and fleas if they cannot take a sand-bath. 
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

Re: They can't fly but they can swim
We see them often at Shark Bay going into the lagoon to cool off. But at Shark bay water is very shallow, so this is the first time I saw them swimming, amazing.
