Been awhile since I’ve written a post here but that’s because I’ve been busy elsewhere. I’m slowly building a following at Instagram and also have another website dedicated to garden photography. Growing the stock library there does take some time to do but it’s getting there. And I also have an Instagram account for that…

Aussie Birds Video Clip
Thought I’d share with you a clip that shows at my favourite bird forum. It shows some Australian birds, some well known, some not so. I know most of them and they show in this order: Tawny Frogmouth chick, White Cockatoo, Willie Wagtail, Rainbow Lorikeet, Australian Laughing Kookaburra, Duck, Bush Turkey, unknown small bird, Black…
Kookaburra on our fence
I mentioned yesterday about the kookaburra in our neighbour’s yard. This one was in our front garden, on our fence. They love to watch for worms on the ground. I wonder how they can actually see them. It’s really amazing. When the weather gets warmer they’ll also be on the look out for skinks and…
Australian Laughing Kookaburra
We have three kookaburras living on our property and many others that visit us or our neighbour’s property. I love that I can get quite close to them, talk to them and watch them. They are lovely birds. This one was in my neighbour’s yard a few days ago and watched me as I moved…
Kookaburra in Spring
Spring has begun here in Melbourne, Victoria. More flowers are opening and the birds seem more active and happy, certainly more in number. In the past week I’ve had the opportunity of taking photos of several different birds in our garden. And with the sun more visible the colours are more vibrant and pleasing to…
Kookaburra portraits
I love watching the kookaburras in our garden. There are three of them currently that live here and with the colder and wet weather, they can often be seen perched on branches or old tree trunks, intently watching the ground for food sources (worms mainly). Here are some images I took a couple of days…
Kookaburras at home
On that beautiful day Graham and I went out for a walk and in our garden and down the road we could see Kookaburras in trees. They are lovely birds with a unique sound that is like a clearing of the throat before they begin their famous laughing sound.
Two sets of eyes are better than one
Kookaburras have amazing eyesight. Binocular type vision. I love when they look at me – it’s like they’re looking down their beak and almost cross-eyed, producing a comical type look. They often live in family groups – I saw these two squabbling before I took their photos and I imagine they’re probably siblings. These images…
Things are looking up
Don’t know what caught their attention but these two both looked up at the same time. Probably a bird flying overhead but I didn’t look up to see. One of the kookaburras seems to have something hanging from its beak – almost looks like a hair or something.
Kookaburras
Graham mowed the lawn on Saturday – he wanted to get it done before the weather turned, as we knew it was going to do. After he finished the Kookaburras turned up, as I knew they would. The freshly mowed lawn means that things such as worms, snails and other potential food are easily seen…
