a fair dinkum, Aussie Kookaburra

...it's the Laughing Kookaburra in fact, 'cepting for this one wasn't laughing, nor singing, in the rain, earlier this month.

  Just a drop or two for a while, in the back garden, and Kooka' sat for a brief camera session.

    Oh gosh, what fabulous photos! I still use Aussie slang here in Canada, and people never know what I am talking about! My granddaughter calls them Kookabirds.

    A fine series of portraits which give a clear idea of the sitter's character.

thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.
