User's notes
I heard the sound of a juvenile Laughing Kookaburra somewhere off in the bush to my left. After I took a few more steps an adult kookaburra flew onto the branch of a dead tree not too far from me. The bird stayed there for a little while, flicking its tail up and down while it surveyed what was around it. After a little while it flew on. In less than a minute a juvenile kookaburra landed in the same tree. It looked around, then made a call before it flew off as well.
