I’ve been watching this guy on our plum tree for a few days and managed to catch his eye as I took his photo.

Kookaburra closer
Got my zoom lens back, yay!
Kookaburra close
This is the last shot in this series and the closest I could get without him taking off.
and closer
He’s watching me in this one but after that went back to watching for worms.
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.
Kookaburra on a fence rail
I think this guy has a comical looking face. Don’t you?
Kookaburra sits in the…
Well, it wasn’t the old gum tree this time round, but rather the top of a folded umbrella so he could watch cafe patrons in case they dropped any food for the taking.
Rainbow lorikeets
Saw this colourful pair at Lysterfield Park on a recent visit there. They were high up in a tree so I couldn’t get very close but close enough for you to see their colours.
Ducks at Aura Vale Lake Park
There were a pair of these ducks at the lake and they were much larger then than the Wood Ducks there. I have no idea what type of duck it is.
