Nesting Laughing Kookaburra

[knightl <>]

I had the pleasure of watching a laughing kookaburra feeding its 
offspring this afternoon as I was walking to the shops this afternoon.  
I heard a kookaburra chuckling and located it sitting on some 
powerlines  above a termite nest in a treefork holding a number of 
insects in its bill.  The termite nest had a neat hole drilled into it. 
 I moved away from the nest to allow the adult to approach its nest - 
it flew laterally to  a branch 20 metres from the nest, chuckled again 
[possibly to get the young ready to receive the tucker] and then flew 
to the nest, inserted its head and then flew off a few seconds later.
Regards, Laurie.
