Short walk on campus today. Not much about in the middle of the day, but here are some #NoisyMiner s having a drink, a #LaughingKookaburra just sitting around on a branch, an #EasternWaterDragon sunning itself on the lawn, and the underside of a #RainbowLorikeet

Backlit Kookaburra this morning as I glanced out the back door.

This floofy Kookaburra may look innocent but they swooped on @acstarr Alison's lunch and took half a meatball... remember to watch the skies when camping! #TowarriNP #birdsofmastodon #Naturephography #birds #NSW #australia #laughingkookaburra

More Kookaburra shots. One second he's on the perch, the next, on the ground with a juicy cricket in his beak.

Same Kookaburra, same perch, but I moved in to the backyard and shot it with the 200/1.8 + 2x TC (i.e. 400mm @ Æ’/7.1)

Sometimes a phone camera is the right camera at the time. iPhone shot frying about a metre away.

Bored, got the 🦠, so it time to terrorise the birbs in the backyard.
First in line, this Floofed up Kookaburra taking a drink and looking content despite the rain.

This morning our local Kookaburra was on the clothesline, just hanging out looking for breakfast, and despite the early morning rain, it was quite dry.
However, by lunchtime he'd managed to get quite wet indeed.

I spied a Kookaburra on a picket earlier, but by the time I got the camera, it was on the ground, and then in a flash, away!
Almost a good in-flight/take-off shot, but heading away from me and clipped the top of the wings off.
He did however, manage to catch what looks like a Cricket for breakfast.

Went to the national botanic gardens again today. Saw some old friends (kookaburras and water dragons) and some new friends (2 black cockatoos). Plus a cool butterfly in our garden.

A Laughing Kookaburra on our clothesline at dusk.
It was bothering some food scraps I'd thrown in the backyard until the camera shutter disturbed him enough to fly up to the clothesline.

Police raid! The avian fun police, aka Noisy miners, on a quick strafing raid to annoy a visiting Laughing kookaburra. Fair to say our bush sound icon did not find it funny.

Laughing Kookaburra, just after landing.

It's "a bit damp" at Cedar Creek (well most of SE Qld actually) today.
The birds still need to eat though, so they're out there foraging or hunting.
