Lovely photos, Stace. These are the first birds I hear every morning. The only ones who get up at the silly hours I do.  |

Have they nested nearby maybe? Probably, OP. They turn up only every so often, and stay for just a few weeks. Beautiful birds, related to our Kingfisher over here Stace. Yes, but I believe they are quite a bit bigger. It's their crazy loud call that's most distinctive. Lovely photos, Stace. These are the first birds I hear every morning. The only ones who get up at the silly hours I do. They've been waking me up at sparrow's every morning for the last week. Much nicer than a buzzing alarm. |

They haven't been back yet, but I'm sure they will be. They turn up every so often. We've had a lot of road, pavement, water and storm water work going on in our street for the last few months and I think it's keeping some of the birds away. |

Oh yes much bigger and of course the king fisher is more brightly coloured to camouflage it against the rivers and lakes it feeds on. I've seen Kookaburras at a bird sanctuary. They were part of the demonstration on bird behaviour. It showed how they hang on to their prey, snakes, until it stops moving, amazing bird. |

Great photos. Australia is just one large aviary isn't it. Love all of your birds.
