One of our Kookaburras

An Aussie icon, the laughing Kookaburra, known by every Australian.  They are regularly seen sitting in a high spot (top of electric pole or wire, large tree) scanning the surroundings for whatever may constitute a bit of a feed.

At Lansallos, they have been known to fly into closed windows, makes a very loud bang and leaves the poor Kookaburra stunned for a while.
