Kookaburra Next Door

Kookaburra Next Door
Part of learning a new house is who you share the area with. this is not the first time I have seen this bird when I get up early but the first time I got the camera and tried to capture on the D810 in QUIET mode.
In the park next door we have a tree that a whole flock of Corellas roost each night, in the morning fly out just after first light. the size of the flock and the noise is staggering. I will find out what tree and sit in wait and hope not to be eaten by mozies........

This in part is why I own a camera thats not called a phone and matching lens.... Enjoy an early morning in Southlake's WA.

Thank you Herb we have quite a lot of space here that is natural wet land hence the high number of mozies we get. the noise is very high in the early light of the day . So much nicer than traffic noise.
