What has caught their attention?
Mar 26, 2010 Australian wildlife, Birds
A discussion on the APF forum I belong to was about what was holding the attention of these kookaburras? Usually when there are a number together they are looking in different directions for food but not all in the same direction and not usually up either.
There was the most gorgeous sunrise yesterday and I spied these three all looking towards the sun as it rose. You can see the glint on the trees in the background. But would birds watch a sunrise? What do you suppose they were all watching?

Now it’s a bit cooler and we’ve had some rain too, the kookaburras have returned to our property. I missed seeing them every day.

He’s watching me in this one but after that went back to watching for worms.

This one is a bit closer – I moved a couple of steps, took a shot, moved a couple more steps, took another shot, till I got close as I dared using a regular lens. Thankfully he didn’t fly off – think he’s getting used to seeing me in the garden with a camera hanging off my neck.
