WYSIWYG

What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.

Menoturals; Saturday Sounds

And yes! Normal service has returned. 

I am starting off this new batch with one Aussie bird that I have never heard nor seen myself but is very much on my bucket list... The Laughing Kookaburra is not the only noisy kingfisher the island continent has! Let me introduce you to the Blue-winged Kooka.

    Pleased to welcome the return of Saturday Sounds. Those wings truly are a striking blue colour.

    Dear YAM-aunty we are sooooo far behind and you have sent us a laughing bird to admire. It has brightened yet another rainy day around chez moi. We are starting to get a bit fed up with rain. We have had enough to last until winter now. Xxx Mr T

    Hello, YAM
    I did not know about the Blue-winged Kookaburra. I love their sounds, very cool. I enjoyed the video. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank so much for leaving me a comment.

    Fabulous birds. I have seen only Laughing Kookaburra, but they endeared themselves right from the first moment. I’ll almost certainly not see one again, and that’s quite sad to contemplate, but during two glorious visits to Australia they were my companions, and I was glad of their company.

    Hi Yam - I hadn't realised the kookaburra had such a large beak ... oh but I see their diet is quite large: mice etc ... not really bird-like. Fascinating song though - cheers Hilary

    What wonderful sounds. The calling back and forth between the birds is so varied - and loud,
