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/
Great photo of the kookaburra on the fence. They come into my yard rather infrequently - and the other birds chase them off very quickly!
ReplyDeleteI'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!
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
DeleteGreat photo. I saw a lot of them visiting Australia in 2008. They made a lot of noice...
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day!
These are great birds - I am looking at some sat in the tree outside my window as I type!
ReplyDeleteCheers and thanks for linking to WBW - Stewart M - Melbourne
Cool photo of the Kookaburra. They are pretty birds. Have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteI had exactly the same feeling a while back Linley, and had exactly the same reaction as you did.
ReplyDeleteI love Kookaburras! We were just entertained by a Kookaburra education bird at our local Audubon meeting last night! They are so cool!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Hans, Stewart, Eileen, Grace and Larry.
ReplyDeleteHow delightful, that would be awesome to see such a bird at your fence;')~
ReplyDeleteIt was Mary, I thought he would be gone by the time I got back with the camera.
DeleteWhen I was young we used to sing about the Kookaburra sitting in the tree.
ReplyDeleteThey are a cute little bird. I rather like his oversized head. :)
I remember that song too Carletta, Kookaburra sit in the old gum tree, I can't remember all of it though.
DeleteHi Linley, SUch a sweet bird! Think that it came so close by your house!
