There he sat silhouetted against the sunset while I took a photo of the the view. It took a while before I noticed the kookaburra sitting, not on the old gum tree, but on the pole while a storm brewed in the distance. Kookaburras are my favourite birds so I was pretty happy to see him. I love their call.
Lovely shot – what a stunning sky. And to capture that beautiful bird as wellβ¦.
