Laugh Kookaburra, Laugh!

I never tire of taking photographs of birds and Kookaburras in particular, they also don’t fidget as much as smaller birds, giving you a little more time to take the shot. 
Their laughter is supposed to be a sign that it will rain..... it ain't working at the moment, but, long may their laughter continue.
Kookaburra Laughter
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree,
Merry merry king of the bush is he.
Laugh, Kookaburra, laugh, Kookaburra,
Gay your life must be!
 
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree,
Eating all the gum drops he can see.
Stop Kookaburra, stop Kookaburra
Save some there for me!
 
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree,
Counting all the monkeys he can see.
Stop Kookaburra, Kookaburra stop.
That's not a monkey, that's me!

Marion Sinclair 1896-1988



My second image is a bit of messing about with colour using the same photo.
