Australian Laughing Kookaburra

I took my daughter and grandson to Grant’s picnic ground in Kallista. One of my favourite places to go. There’s always lots of birdlife there that’s not afraid of the number of people hanging around. In fact, they expect to be fed! This kookaburra was on a tree close to the deck at the back of the cafe where we were sitting, making it a perfect subject for my camera.

This King Parrot sat in a tree just observing everything below it.

And this cheeky Cockatoo had snatched a bag of seed from an unsuspecting tourist and flew up to the nearest tree to enjoy its spoils.

Another kookaburra

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.

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 kiosk, although it had closed up and there were no patrons. However, it allowed me to get up close and personal with my camera.

This is a young kookburra with an older one behind it.

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.
