Quite a big bird. Great capture! Wildlife there is so different

The wildlife is certainly very different in Australia

What a great visitor to have, lucky you

Always lovely to have them around

As a child at camp we used to sing a little song about the Kookaburra He looks content. Nice image Gillian, thanks for the memory. :)

"Kookaburra" is a popular Australian nursery rhyme and round about the kookaburra. It was written by Marion Sinclair (9 October 1896 – 15 February 1988) in 1932. en.wikipedia.org

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree, Merry merry king of the bush is he. Laugh, Kookaburra, laugh, Kookaburra, Gay your life must be! Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree, Eating all the gum drops he can see. Stop Kookaburra, stop Kookaburra Save some there for me!

Stay Well - Enjoy Laughter - Respect Others - Be Thankful

Always great to hear and see the Kookaburras, and it is a great nursery rhyme/song

Always remember the song but had never heard them before and what a song they have! (with gusto!).

STAY CALM - STAY WELL - STAY HAPPY

We sang that song as well. It was wonderful to see them in the wild when I visited Australia.

We hear them every morning

Thats very nice, Gillian !

Thanks Ulrich

When I was in the Brownies we sang the song that Chris mentioned and made into a 'round'.
