Laughing Kookaburra
an introduced bird here, from mainland Australia, it is not popular as it takes our endemic birds, and small animals

They are beautiful birds with a very entertaining 'laugh' https://wildambience.com/wildlife-sounds/laughing-kookaburra/

Very nice shot, Richard. The Laughing Kookaburra is one of the animals we learn about when studying Australia in a World Geography class in the States. At least it was when I was there back in the Stone Age. 😂

Sulphur Crested Cockatoo
Birds that form large flocks and screech their way around the landscape.
Highly entertaining at times
I was surprised to see the Tasmanian Magpie mingling peacefully with them
These were feeding on the daisies

these were a long way off, but it shows how they standout in the landscape. Roosting in a single tree they can convert it to a flowering magnolia in appearance

thanks Bill
I can appreciate they would be a bird that would be worthy of inclusion on the world stage

This heron seemed to be having some trouble that kept their mouth open for quite a while, maybe struggling to swallow something but I'm not sure.
