Laughing Kookaburra

Another of its family was high up on a tree opposite.

Raising and lowering of tails is part of their visual communication

Belvide Reservoir, Staffordshire. North American species of gull, a few make it to Europe each year. Bird was mobile around the reservoir, and usually quite distant but eventually made it to the SE corner where it was quite close in. Lifer for me.

This happy Buddha is the wisest of us all.

Accept to make a fool of yourself, once in a while. And graciously laugh out loud about it.

It's the surest way to prevent others from making a fool of you.

…the laughing gull is the most dependable ally of the inshore fisher due to the fact that it prefers to steal rather than work…😎😎

I learnt a new thing about Black-Headed Gulls today! The species-specific part of their scientific name (Chroicocephalus ‘ridibundus’) means ‘laughing ‘ and comes from their ‘ke-ke-ke’ and ‘kverarrr’ calls. In view of this, the Black-Headed Gull is referred to as the ‘laughing’ gull in other languages, such as German.

Thanks for the visits, faves and comments its greatly appreciated.

I don't believe I have ever photographed one of these before. I got a number of images of laughing gulls at Anna Maria Island on our visit there, but this one was the most interesting.

The great 'grab' shot. I saw the bird coming through the trees and bushes, and thought, Why Not?

This fish was no laughing matter. He was never able to successfully put it away...

Not sure if they were kissing or the one on the left was 'laughing' too much 😃

Leucophaeus atricilla

(Laughing gull / Gaviota reidora americana)

 

The laughing gull (Leucophaeus atricilla) is a medium-sized gull of North and South America. Named for its laugh-like call, it is an opportunistic omnivore and scavenger. It breeds in large colonies mostly along the Atlantic coast of North America, the Caribbean, and northern South America.

 

The two subspecies are: L. a. megalopterus – which can be seen from southeast Canada down to Central America, and L. a. atricilla which appears from the West Indies to the Venezuelan islands. The laughing gull was long placed in the genus Larus until its present placement in Leucophaeus, which follows the American Ornithologists' Union.
