A Regular Visitor

I can't post photos of birds in our garden without including one of our regular kookaburras.

We have a whole family of kookaburras who visit every day, they are such characters and very friendly.

I think this one is a female because they have a slightly bigger head than the male and are generally a bit larger too with a more mottled chest.

Wow- she sure lets you get close to her! Awesome shot! (Is this a descendant of One Wing?)

[Rick]

Great shot. Does look like he's really up close.

[Babs]

@olivetreeann Yes she is a descendant of Onewing, well sort of. Onewing and Squawk had a boy baby and this is his new wife. We call the boy Tony and this is Chatterbox because she always has a lot to say for herself. She always squawks a little thank you when she flies off once we have fed her with raw mince, so she is very polite

[Dawn]
