A new poem for my 'Grief Collection'.
Some of my favourite birds get a look in.
(Walk gently and let kindness be your currency.)

Australia's iconic kingfisher.. the Laughing Kookaburra. Saw & heard lots but never close enough for that killer photo. A bit surprised to find them in the dense, wet forest of Dandenong Ranges as I thought they preferred drier, more open country #BirdingAustralia #kookaburras #kingfishers

A kookaburra sitting on a wire. The bird is looking to the right of the frame, with the sun at its back. It looks a bit windy as the bird's feathers are a bit ruffled. The background is blue sky.

A kookaburra sits on the corner of a Hills Hoist clothesline. A wooden clothed peg is on one of the outer lines. In the background is an unidentified tree and a wooden property fence. Grass and the base of trees from across the road can also be seen at the top of the frame.
I don't take many photos of birds, so this kookaburra sitting on a backyard clothesline is making a reappearance for #BirdOfTheDay #notabranch

I love these guys. We have a small population in North Auckland - originally flew from Governor Greyβs property on #KawauIsland over 100 yrs ago. They are absolutely crack up π

laughing Kookaburra
#kookaburras are the largest #kingfishers in the world, growing up to 47cm long and weighing around 300g. A true #Aussie icon, they are infamous for their laughing cackle, mocking you from afar.

These guys were being harassed by crows this morning. They settled in my neighbours tree where they stayed until the crows flew away ππ

Australia has the most adorable bird ππ₯°
Google identified them as Laughing Kookaburras (Dacelo novaeguineae).
They're known for their iconic "laughing" call, which is a territorial sound used at dawn and dusk, earning them the nickname "bushman's alarm clock".

A kookaburra sits on a branch of a pine tree. The tree and bird are in silhouette. The tree takes up most of the frame, and the kookaburra is not necessarily in plain sight.
Find the kookaburra.
The Easter long weekend is over, so the rain has now set in and it's a grey old day.

I couldn't choose just one bird from this wonderful artist to feature, so I chose eight panels! π₯°ππ₯°π

Kookaburra on a clothes line in Leura. Some noise is pleasant to the ear.
This is from my archives as those that were around earlier today preferred to be heard but not seen.

Thought I would share another photo of these wonderful Aussie Kookaburras. They would often visit in groups in the late afternoon and sit on our clothesline. They never seemed to mind that I would get up close to take a photo.
