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.

Come and meet some of the many birds

A tawny Frogmouth camped in one of our trees for  a day.

One visitor has seen the endangered Regent Honey eater in one of the trees close to the house and there has been numerous sightings in the Capertee Valley together with other endangered species.
