This is for Jenni

For ages I have been trying to get a close up shot of one of the five Kookaburras that are living in my garden, but they will not let me get close enough or fly off before I can even try. Each morning when I open my curtains there they are sitting in various trees, very still with eyes peeled, watching the grass below, and then suddenly swooping down to pluck some grub or worm from below, before flying up onto another perch and doing it all again. Today this fellow was sitting in the big Chestnut tree in corner of the back garden and I managed to sneak out without disturbing him and take these photos. I only wish I could add the sound they make when they call to each other.
