Backside view of some of our local family of kookaburras
As I arrived home this afternoon I noticed that our local family of cheeky kookaburras were playing in the trees behind out house. It was 5:45pm so almost dark and I needed to use the zoom lens to get these shots so that’s why they are not really sharp.
This time of year the family starts off with a cacophony of raucous laughter at 6am to ensure that everyone is awake. Often they sit on our back fence at this time of day to ensure that we are all awake. Cheeky indeed.

I love kookaburras. I always missed the sound of them whenever I lived overseas.
Great blog, now that I’m living in Europe, it’s helped me to get in touch with the pacific again.
They are so gorgeous! Despite growing up in Australia, we didn’t really see them in the North West. I always enjoyed looking out for them when we visited the family in Victoria, though.
