the king

if you haven't heard one laugh, the ending of the Bullet Song I posted yesterday has one of my kookaburras belting a raucous laugh out. It is one of the first sounds I hear every single day.

[Diana]

Oh how I envy you, would love that!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Such a character - with his manic laugh! - so lovely to see and hear him in your garden ! fav

[Dawn]

They do have a wonderful laugh a nice shot

[haskar]

You have a nice wake-up call! I saw him at the zoo. It was bigger than I imagined based on the photos. But I don't know his laugh yet.

How do they get on with your frog mouthed birds???

[LManning (Laura)]

They are very engaging birds! I would love to wake up to their song.

[Mags]

Not an everyday sound for us. Wonderful capture.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond oh I think they ignore each other - kookas are day birds, frogmouths are night birds. :)

Great shot!
