Kookaburra

The words of a well known Australian folk song begin "Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree..." and I must say that this gum tree is very old indeed.

It's strange I think, how the blue patch on his wings matches the colour of the insulators almost perfectly.  That's one nifty piece of camouflage!

    Looks a bit perilous.

    I'm always delighted to see that flash of blue on kookaburra wings ... it is somehow unexpected in an otherwise rather drab coloured bird.

    Perfect. Kookaburra is a nice bird, I like them (only saw one in nature).

Thanks for your comments, I appreciate the time you've taken, and apologise if I seem never to reply! Due to a serious amount of spam turning up I've had to turn off "Anonymous" comments.
