I know it's really a blind and not a shutter ... but ... poetic license?
Kookaburras are terrestrial tree kingfishers of the genus Dacelo native to Australia and New Guinea, which grow to between 28 and 47 cm (11 and 19 in) in length and weigh around 300 g (11 oz). The name is a loanword from Wiradjuri guuguubarra, onomatopoeic of its call. The loud, distinctive call of the laughing kookaburra is widely used as a stock sound effect in situations that involve an Australian bush setting or tropical jungle, especially in older movies.
They are found in habitats ranging from humid forest to arid savannah, as well as in suburban areas with tall trees or near running water. Though they belong to the larger group known as "kingfishers", kookaburras are not closely associated with water.[3]
Archiving images, came across this one from 2014. Those were the days!

Holly's daughter at the Sakura cherry trees... I think I won this shoot-out, considering that the battery in her camera was failing. So far the score is: $25 Holga: 1, Digital 0.

From my archives. I love the fact that our street is rural enough to enable us to see wildlife, but we're within a minute of a major highway.
I am delighted to feature in the Talking Pictures column of US photography magazine 'Shutterbug'. Thank you Barry! :-)

Grand Canyon NP on the South Kaibab Trail. On the left, you can look down to see cedar ridge (named for the beautiful Cedar trees that can be seen) and a lone hiker. You can see the trail continue on inevitably toward the Colorado River.
Hoverflies are rather special. These little guys are important polllinators, unlike most of their fly friends and cousins; I've seen them just coated in pollen. Plus their larvea are so useful for elminating unwanted aphids that gardeners in some countries plant flowers to attract hoverflies, just as we plant butterfly gardens. Hoverflies also attract shutterbugs with those nice contrasting colors, stained glass wings and protruding eyes. They mimic wasps for protection, but are harmless to any other insects or people. Not a bad combination!
