This isn't the photo I wanted to get, but it is the right kookaburra. For about half an hour on Friday morning he was playing in the garden. He would swoop down from one fence, land on the half pool cover, slide along for a few feet then fly up to the other fence. Sometimes he slithered all the way to the uncovered side of the pool, plunged in, then flapped like crazy to get back in the air. A few times he ignored the cover altogether and just did a splash in and out of the water. I don't know if he recognised which was water and which was solid, but he was clearly playing. Between dips he shook himself dry and rearranged his feathers before going in again. I didn't manage to get a shot of the action,just this one of him relaxing afterwards. We knew he had finished playing because he turned his bck on the pool.
