Can you tell they’re one of my favourite birds to shoot? I keep hoping for that ultimate perfect Kookaburra photo. This one was at the train station while I was waiting for my husband’s train to come in.

Close up of a Kookaburra
Different angle to what I normally get to take. This is on my property.
Good catch!
I was out walking one lunchtime last week and noticed a Kookaburra fly down from a power line and it was jumping and darting amongst the leaves and dirt on the ground. When its head came up I spied a small lizard in its beak.
Young Kookaburra
I paid a visit last Friday to one of my favourite places, Grant’s Picnic Ground, which is only around 10 mins drive from my home and halfway between my daughter’s and my homes. So I will often drop in there after I’ve been visiting Melanie. That day there were quite a few kookaburras hanging around…
The bird catches the worm
Seen in our grounds on the weekend, this Kookaburra eyes a worm from a tree, flies down and grabs it, then swallows it down.

Watching for worms
The kookaburras are back
Now it’s a bit cooler and we’ve had some rain too, the kookaburras have returned to our property. I missed seeing them every day.
Kookaburra closer
Got my zoom lens back, yay!
Kookaburra closer
This one is a bit closer – I moved a couple of steps, took a shot, moved a couple more steps, took another shot, till I got close as I dared using a regular lens. Thankfully he didn’t fly off – think he’s getting used to seeing me in the garden with a camera hanging…
Kookaburra in the gum tree
Taken in my backyard early morning – I took some distance shots and then gradually moved closer to get better shots of him – all with my 18-55 mm lens as I don’t have the zoom at the moment. He seemed happy to just sit and watch for worms and then occasionally check on me…
Kookaburra watching me
This guy wanted to know what the clicking was I think.
