I Knew I Shouldn't Have Had That Curry! by onewing

I Knew I Shouldn't Have Had That Curry!

I took this photo a few days ago when we had 40 degree heat (104 f) and the poor kookaburra had her tail and bum in the water of the bird bath.

Note to self, the bath needs a bit of a clean.

Thanks everyone for your lovely comments on yesterday's shot. I am trying to catch up when I can, but a bit busy at the moment.
Thanks for a good giggle Babs:) This is adorable and your title fantastic! Fav

Ha Ha Great title Babs.
I fell in to a burning ring of fire . . . . . @gilbertwood

@gilbertwood @annied @happysnaps @bulldog @777margo @quietpurplehaze @ziggy77 @gigiflower @beachdog @hermann @gamelee @terryliv @gilbertwood Thanks everyone. She is very well fed Sam. She visits every day along with her partner. We originally named her 'Bung Eye' and her partner 'squawk' because they had a bit of a domestic at some stage and she had a bung eye for a while. It has healed now though as you can see, but she does have one wing which is a bit droopy so I have renamed her 'onewing' after guess who. Each day when they turn up I say who have we here and she just sits doing a bit of a happy dance and her partner says 'squawk'. Hence his name. ha ha.

Awesome capture BAbs.
November 30th, 2015  
Ha ,ha has she realised it is not a toilet or bidet !!!
November 30th, 2015  
Love this and it's a great title Babs
November 30th, 2015  
Great capture, composition
November 30th, 2015  
Lovely. You can almost hear her breathing a sigh of relief.
November 30th, 2015  
Great fun title and at that heat I have sympathy for the bird. I often have my tail end in water for different reasons, I wan't go there as it's a family site. (Wink) FAV
November 30th, 2015  
Excellent capture and what a beautiful looking bird. He is really big looking. Fav!
November 30th, 2015  
Love your comp and capture, a lovely bird!
November 30th, 2015  
I haven't seen this bird before. I love your capture, and your title.
November 30th, 2015  
You spotted that poor bird caught short Babs! He looks embarrassed!
November 30th, 2015  
Aww poor bird! But I bet he loved your birdbath.
November 30th, 2015  
Love how you captured her giving you that 'surprised' look.Beautiful bird!fav
November 30th, 2015  
The smile on its face says it all.....
November 30th, 2015  
Ha ha brilliant :)
November 30th, 2015  
Nice capture.

Great shot

He does look to be cooling his tail. Great shot and title :)
December 1st, 2015  
Haha, this made me laugh. There can't be too many ways for a kookaburra to cool down.
December 1st, 2015  
ha ha so funny. lovely shot. Kookas are one of my favourites
December 1st, 2015  
HAHA, this is funny.

She visits every day and I feed her raw mince. I used to call her bung eye because when she first visited she had an injured eye. I think she had a bit of a domestic with her partner who also visits and we call him squawk because whenever I say 'which one are you' he says 'squawk'
I now call this kookaburra onewing now though because her eye has healed and she has one wing that droops a bit.

Well caught and very funny commentary about why she's sitting in the bath!
December 1st, 2015

Amazing capture with great details
December 2nd, 2015  
Well done. The heat is terrible here to. Yesterday it was 38 degrees in the shade on my stoep and 48 degrees in the direct sun, according to my thermometer. Bit better today with clouds.

@taffy @soboy5 @fntngrma @eyesmile @yeshanghai Thanks so much, she is such a character, we feed her raw mince every day and when she spots me she does a little happy dance, it looks so funny. Her wings flap and her beak opens and closes. She is so sweet.
December 2nd, 2015  
I guess it works as a way of cooling off. Fav just for the look on his face!
