Sleepover

Found these 3 Kookaburra's trying to snuggle down for the night until we arrived.

Cute pic.
For some reason this pic made me chuckle. Payback for every time a Kookaburra has laughed at me :)

Ha ha ... yeh and woken us up at 5am.

Nice catch ... did ya startle them with a flash?

I startled everything with my flash! :) But after first shining a bright spotlight in their eyes to focus on them ... they can't see to move :)

You're most welcome HBG :)

Cool picture. Love your night pictures. To first spot them you must have infrared vision.
