Iconic Australians

We enjoy the birdlife here. Some are regulars, and this is their
territory.

We watch them nest build, and raise their young. Others migrate
through.

I took these shots close to our backyard this week, in fact they
have been very active nearby lately. One family of Kookaburras
use an aerial termite mound for their nest hollow in a giant gum
each year.

 Family groups are important to Kookaburras, and they are quite territorial.

 At on point they both leant forward like this, we thought they were due 
to fly off, but they stayed quite a while. 

This gum borders our land and the bush reserve. A wonderful valley spills away from here.
