a breezy morning, and Kookaburra was on duty
perched on the weather-vane atop the arbour in back garden
Amazing how they will spot the movement of a worm or grub moving under the surface of the soil. I'm hoping it visits regularly as the weather warms up and this Whip Snake I've spotted a couple times over, is likely to awake from hiding spot! Another pair of eyes watching out; ideally those of a kookaburra, would be rather handy from my point.
another was sitting in the cold shade in the bush corridor outside the fence, with feathers fluffed and keeping its feet warm.
I'm not sure why the change of head position, it seemed relaxed this way for some time, maybe it had a stiff neck? Doing a little pilates?
Eastern Rosella pair are about again as spring approaches; not so easy to nab a photo of them, they're very wary
then the Red Wattlebird appeared

What beautiful birds! Great job photographing them! I love the fluffy feathers of the kookaburra! Thanks for marking the place on the arbor where he was sitting! Great "close ups"! The Rosellas are so bright and colorful and the Red Wattlebird is beautiful too!
The Kookaburra looks as if he has a perpetual smile going. I like the sound they make.
I had never heard of a Kookaburra before I started blogging in 2006 and met the first Australian friends. Some sent me a link to YouTube just to hear it laughing ! What a bird ! would need one here when I am in bad mood, lol !

Jaw dropping shots of the kookabird (as my granddaughter calls them).
