What a gorgeous young man. Your daughter is lucky!!!! Of course, he's the lucky one--having her in his life.<br /><br />I have always heard about a Kookaburra---but have never ever seen one before. There's a camp song I know about a Kookaburra in an old gum tree. Heard it?????<br /><br />Glad to be home --after 3 trips back to back!!!<br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856747756759071827.post-1543046585737799322009-10-27T11:48:10.411+10:002009-10-27T11:48:10.411+10:00Great photos, and what a treat to get such a nice,...Great photos, and what a treat to get such a nice, close look at him!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856747756759071827.post-71727542149884694922009-10-27T07:17:03.389+10:002009-10-27T07:17:03.389+10:00I'm trying to imagine this guy flying off with...I'm trying to imagine this guy flying off with a steak!

She told me that when she was on a tour a Kookaburra stole a sandwich from a fellow's plate, when he was away from the table, and the man only spoke German and he didn't understand or believe that a bird took his sandwich. I wonder if he still thinks that people were playing a trick on him?Callie Bradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16379683295150396693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856747756759071827.post-2694047361506281722009-10-25T09:41:25.046+10:002009-10-25T09:41:25.046+10:00A wonderful series of photographs of the kookaburr...A wonderful series of photographs of the kookaburra, Diane.
