We are experiencing a heatwave in Adelaide at the moment & these Sulpher Crested Cockatoos came down into our Ash tree to grab some shade. They were down lower than they normally come, in their effort to escape the heat and their beaks were open as they were so hot. They were also giving me a very curious stare!

The Australian garden orb weaver spider, or Eriophora transmarina. These spiders make their intricate “wheel” shaped webs in the early evenings when the sun goes down. the often place them near lights, or between trees where insects are likely to fly. Resting in their web only at night, they sit head down. They retreat to a hiding spot in the daylight hours, with one leg on the web, in case a daytime flyer gets trapped. Facinating creatures, I spent alot of time watching, and feeding these in my backyard as a kid. Not dangerous spiders, only cause about 4 hours of localized pain if bitten. Shot in my backyard in Noosa Heads. Canon 50D, 800mm (400mm + 2x Tamron), flash fired to get the shutter speed required to dampen the moon brightness.. Available Large if you dare!! Hehe :)

Kookaburra at Alfred Nicholas Gardens, Sherbrooke, Mt Dandenong, Victoria, Australia. / / Kookaburras make a laughing call, most often in the early morning and just before dark. The calls let other kookaburras know where each one lives. An Aboriginal legend says that the kookaburra’s laugh is a signal to the sky spirits to light the great fire, the sun, in the morning and to put it out at night. Breeding / After mating, the female kookaburra lays up to 4 eggs in a hole in a tree. The male and the female take turns to sit on the eggs until they hatch, about 25 days later. Both parents feed their chicks. Adult birds swallow food and then bring it back up again when it is mushy and feed it to the chicks. As the chicks grow they can be fed small worms or slugs or similar small food which they learn to eat like adults do. Then they have to learn how to find the food for themselves. / The young kookaburras have feathers after about one month. They leave the nest soon after that. / ~ Sydenham and Thomas, Kookaburras.

Kookaburra at Melbourne Zoo The “Laughing Kookaburra” is known by its name for its “laugh” which it uses to greet its mate after periods of absences. It can be heard at any time of day but most frequently shortly after dawn and especially when the colour drains from the forest after sunset. One bird starts with a low, hiccupping chuckle, then throws its head back in raucous laughter: often several others join in. If a rival tribe is within earshot and replies, the whole family soon gathers to fill the bush with ringing laughter. Hearing kookaburras in full voice is one of the more extraordinary experiences of the Australian bush, something even locals cannot ignore; some visitors, unless forewarned, may find their call startling. / ~ Wikipedia

Taken at Melbourne Zoo / The Blue-winged Kookaburra, Dacelo leachii, is a very large species of kingfisher with a total length of around 40 cm. Compared to the related Laughing Kookaburra, it is smaller, lacks a dark mask, has more blue in the wing, and (usually) a light-coloured eye. It is sexually dimorphic, with a blue tail in the male, and a rufous tail with blackish bars in the female. The Blue-winged Kookaburra has a distribution from southern New Guinea and the moister parts of northern Australia, to southern Queensland across the Top End, and as far down the Western Australian coast as the Shark Bay area. The scientific name commemorates the British zoologist William Elford Leach. Widespread and common throughout its large range, the Blue-winged Kookabura is evaluated as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. / Nikon D300. Lens Nikkor 80-400mm ED VR / 210mm, f/5.3, 1/250s, ISO: 1600
