Loanword DSC_7323

Apparently the name kookaburra is a loanword from Wiradjuri guuguubarra, onomatopoeic of its call.

I did not know this.

 

I saw this gorgeous Kookaburra on the powerlines at Phillip Island last week. The sky was dead blue but I just felt it lacked something until I put a texture over it.

 

Moments after this, the bird flew to the nearby pole and was joined by two mates where they entertained me for ages with their laughter.

 

Stay safe all my friends everywhere.
