Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree,

I have to say, the kookaburras are CUTE. They are small. How can such a sound emit from this little bird? As I have mentioned, it was raining at the Botanocal Gardens.
And so there were very few people , and lots of birds flitting about. Here are some of my Kookaburra shots:
