Hi Luggers,
Info taken from Wikipedia:
Kookaburras (genus Dacelo) are large terrestrial kingfishers native to  
Australia and New Guinea.
Kookaburras are named after the sound of their unmistakable call,  
which is like loud, echoing human laughter ? good-natured, but a  
rather hysterical maniacal cackling in the case of the Blue-winged  
Kookaburra (D. leachii) - pictured. The photo was taken today at  
Bradley's Head with the G1 and the 45 - 200 zoom handheld with VR on.

All C&C welcome as always
Cheers
Howard (in sunny windy Sydney)
