LAUGHING STOCK...

We are just back from visiting friends on the coast. Bruce is a bird lover and has just tamed some local Kookaburras. They patiently waited on the handrail for hours for the daily feeding ritual.








 At first one then as the news spread the family turned up for their share...




For those not familiar with the Aussie Kookaburra they are part of the kingfisher family and have a very distinctive "laugh" and they generally laugh at dawn and are meant to herald forthcoming rain.


youtube has a number of videos of the Kookaburra - here's one

    I hope the weather was good for you. It has been lovely here at times, not too hot, but we have had lots of rain too. How are the grapes?
