Kookaburra

I had the feeling, as I was working out in the backyard, that someone was watching me. This little guy just sat on the fence looking, so I raced inside to get the camera before he decided to move on. Sharing with Wild Bird Wednesday http://paying-ready-attention-gallery.blogspot.com.au/

  1. Great photo of the kookaburra on the fence. They come into my yard rather infrequently - and the other birds chase them off very quickly!
    I've just been looking at your pics of NZ.
    Beautiful - especially Lake Wanaka! I was there late Feb.-March last year and loved it all!

    1. Thanks for visiting my blog Mick, usually with the kookaburras we just hear them from the trees but this one was a real sticky beak. We were in NZ last April/May, I still have oodles of photos to post here. Cheers

  2. Great photo. I saw a lot of them visiting Australia in 2008. They made a lot of noice...

    1. It was Mary, I thought he would be gone by the time I got back with the camera.

  9. When I was young we used to sing about the Kookaburra sitting in the tree.
    They are a cute little bird. I rather like his oversized head. :)

    1. I remember that song too Carletta, Kookaburra sit in the old gum tree, I can't remember all of it though.
