Look who was sitting on my fence this morning Good Morning little Kookaburra

Great photos .........
We have resident kookaburras in our gum trees, too. When I go out on the back deck one of them cook, cook, cooks to me - I don't know whether it's Mr K greeting me in a friendly way or Mrs K warning me off and away from her nest. I love to hear them talking and occasionally laughing long and loud.

Thank you for sharing this lovely picture of such a gogeous bird. Hope he keeps coming back for more visits. Nature is stunning!! Have a lovely day.***

Too cute!!

Cute little bird, how fun to wake up and find such a happy lil fellow perched on your fence..thanks for sharing the great feeling.

That's such an interesting looking little fella (or missy?) that I had to go look it up in Wikipedia. So I've learned something this morning before my first sip of coffee... LOL! Thanks for sharing!

What a nice bird. You have such beautiful things down there.

Great pictures! Never seen a Kookaburra in person. How large of a bird are they? Kinda hard to tell from the pic. Hugs and *'s

One of the amazing and beautiful birds here in Australia. How lovely to have one so near to you. hugs Helen

The tree above his head looks like a Robinia tree Monika - do you think that it might be one? Does it have pendulous looking little flowers in springtime and does it go a really limey green? Doesn't matter really what it is anyway - Kookaburras are gorgeous wherever they are. We have them all the time. Love Chris

no they are not gum tree.Sorry I dont know what they are.

Gum trees are a bluey green, with very tuff leaves , to deal with our climate .

There are many types of Gumtrees.

That's a pretty neat looking bird.

Oh my goodness! I love wildlife, we have many birds here but I just think he is adorable!

What kind of tree is in the foreground? I've never been to Australia or anywhere even close. I'm surrounded by a fir and maple tree forest though. That is a very cool picture. Thank you for sharing!

Beautiful photograph.
