Kookaburras under attack

I am always impressed by the coolness of Kookaburras when under attack by other birds. Most times they treat them with contempt and disdain. This trio were enjoying quiet time on my TV aerial on the Gold Coast when a Noisy Minor took offence. Great entertainment.

Wonderful set of shots

I like the way once bird had passed, the trios heads all went looking in different directions

Dont take life too seriously, it never ends well

Nice shots, but I think they are Laughing Kookaburras

Yep, they have blue wings but are not Blue Wing Kookas! Thanks guys.

I love these photos.  Those noisy miners don't worry about attacking much larger birds do they.

Thanks Elizabeth. The miners will have a go at anything from what I have seen. Just in recent weeks I have seen them setting things straight with Kookas, Crows, Magpie and a Crested Hawk. Admire them. Almost like little dog syndrome! Cheers, Murray.
