Kookaburra gardening companion
Watching for worms and any other tasty morsels that might be disturbed when I'm gardening, especially when I'm digging the soil. Sometimes, one will fly right down beside me to capture what it has spotted.
Feisty and plucky birds they are. Synonymous with life here in Australia and I love them so.
Often times a group of them in the nearby trees will let rip with their famous call. A call to establish territory between family groups.
And even now after all these years, it will stop me in my tracks; the sheer volume and ruckus they make. And I smile as I look up at the noisy party with their heads thrown back bringing forth their glorious Antipodean vocal expression.
