The Laughing Kookaburra

The Laughing Kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae) was a bird that we got to hear a lot of while we were staying in Brisbane.  They were residents of the nearby park and like to let everyone know about it somewhere around 4am each morning.  They weren’t so easy to spot in the trees, preferring to remain quite high up, but I was lucky with this one.  I think in the two weeks that we were over there I only saw about three or four Kookaburras.
