Kookaburra sits in the pergola

We have been at Rathmines at our Bible School all week. Very busy but wonderful time with friends as well as the Brisbane family and grandkids.

There have been kookaburras here for as long as I can remember, right back to when I came here first as a relatively shy 7 year old. They return season after season. Just like us. Often I am woken by their laughter. Sometimes at first light. Not quite so good a sound at that time of the morning.

As we were setting up for the onslaught of the hoards I looked out to see this beauty sitting on the line of sparkly lights supervising the setting out of the patio tables and chairs. He eyed me off and consented to a photo shoot.

Later in the week this one was perched above the BBQ. If a sausage fell he would guard it from his friends until it was cool enough to pick up then dive bomb the snag, and find a place to enjoy. Shake his head, break off a bit, catch it and swallow quickly.

Kookaburra swings on the patio there

checking out the placement of every chair.

Right kookaburra, left kookaburra

Looks good put right there.

Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree,

Eying off the sausages he can see.

Wait kookaburra, wait kookaburra

Soon cool they will be.

A bit of silliness on a hot night.
