Laugh, kookaburra laugh - Tease that photographer

I spent half an hour chasing a group of kookaburras I could hear laughing. Finally I managed to get some good shots after following their laughter back and forth over a few kilometres

Well worth the chase. Great shot, he really is laughing. I heard a bunch of kookaburra's about 4 am today. The noise was incredible and I think they were complaining about the gale force winds.

@vega @gigiflower @golftragic @onewing @pdulis Thanks for your great comments and favs. Much appreciated

[Robyn]

@lealady They really do laugh, very loudly. I always think they're teasing me as they are way easier to hear than see
