Very nicely captured. There was a program on the TV the other night showing some fossils of Dragonflies. They are a lot smaller nowdays, they used to have a 300mm wingspan only a few million years ago
Thanks for all the comments.We have a moth up this way with a 300mm wingspan.Very nicely captured. There was a program on the TV the other night showing some fossils of Dragonflies. They are a lot smaller nowdays, they used to have a 300mm wingspan only a few million years ago

If there are Kookaburras around where you live, and you don't have a cat or dog, it's fairly easy to get them to come in to your backyard and take minced steak out of your hand.
Sorry, I was typing this as 08tiger pointed out the Kingfisher relationship.

We had some UK visitors once who thought we had monkeys in the trees!No just the Kookaburra.Quote:
Great shots of a very interesting looking bird.
The Kookaburra is the largest of the Kingfisher family, almost the size of a crow but with a larger head and beak. They have a raucous 'laugh' which is very loud, especially on dusk. I once had Canadian friends staying with me, and on hearing this loud calling in the night, they exclaimed "It's just like living in the jungle!".Great shots of a very interesting looking bird.
