A familiar sight! - mayne the Australian Kookaburra is from the Kingfisher family. When Kookaburras laugh (they make a laughing sound) its meant to mean that it's going to rain! This is a lovely shot - I love the contrast with the out of focus background, good job trisbert!

Thank you everyone. The Kookaburra is the largest Kingfisher. They are found in Australia and Papua New Guinea.

There are three colours, Ten digits and seven notes, its what we do with them that’s important. Ruth Ross

Great shot. And they're good at stealing sausages from the BBQ.

Beautiful shot, Robert, nicely composed and good detail. There's a bird sanctuary quite close to us that has a couple of kookaburras - their laugh is so infectious!

Excellent - I love these birds. We have them visit us from time to time if the cockatoos are away... I never seem to have the camera loaded and ready when they turn up though! well done!
