242/366 what's wrong
52 weeks of 2020, week 34 What is wrong with this picture?
... the composition, and crop, as the Kookaburra is not the prime focus, not following the two thirds rule, very busy with all the gum leaves. Also very distant so the kookaburra is not very sharp... although I do like the result anyway :-)

Kookaburra on a gum tree, New South Wales, Australia
The Laughing Kookaburra native to eastern Australia makes a very familiar call sounding like raucous laughter. Their call is used to establish territory among family groups, most often at dawn and dusk. One bird starts with a low, hiccuping chuckle, then throws its head back in raucous laughter. Often several others join in. If a rival tribe is within earshot and replies, the whole family soon gathers to fill the bush with ringing laughter. Hearing kookaburras in full chorus is one of the more extraordinary experiences of the Australian bush.

Rules are what you want to make of them. This places the Kooka in context in a gum tree.

Yes, the Kookaburra has a haven.
