My most faved video - A Minute With Flatty

In the run down to the end of 2021, I'm reposting some of my most successful photos and videos. This was my most faved video in the past 9 years. Kookaburras have an alarm call they give when the perceive danger or a threat. At such times, my dear Flatty would come to me and together we would scan the sky for danger. Her eye sight was hundreds of times better than mine, but I never told her so.

 

On these occasions I would stand very close to her and speak soft and reassuringly to her. These emergencies could last a long time, and recur several times on some days. I always responded to her danger calls and gave her whatever time and reassurance she needed.

 

On this occasion I shot some video footage and edited it together. Now that she is gone, this for me is a treasured memory of the love, trust and times we shared together.
