Wild Bird Wednesday 501 - An Iconic Start.

Well, its WBW 501.  And it was pointed out to me last week (thank you!) that the 500th WBW missed that most iconic of Australian birds, the Laughing Kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae).

I have to admit that was a bit of an oversight, so as 501 is as good a number as 500, this week I make up for this error.

So here is a collection of some of my favourite Laughing Kookaburra pictures.  I hope that you enjoy them.






It appears that they enjoy sitting on fence posts!

    A famous bird even in the northern hemisphere because of that song!

    I just assumed that everyone was voting for Kookaburra. Just hoping I could spell it right. Great intimate images!

    Great shots o this bird Stewart when I go to link in, all my recent photos DO NOT appear and your linky picks a past image!!! Hence the thumbnail is not the bird/s in my post. this has happened before recently. Thanks for hosting and have a great week ahead

    Hello Stewart, :=) All your images of this unique bird the Kookaburra are fantastic,...why didn't I think of the Kookaburra before!! It's one bird I think of when I think of Australia. Thank you for sharing, it was a pleasure, and many thanks for hosting.

    He is a sweetie! When I was a kid, we all learned the song "Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree."

    Such a cute bird, which I've never seen in person, but certainly remember the song!
