If you think I'm small
Try looking deep in my mouth
Then you'll know who's small

THE MEANING OF AUTUMN
Autumn is the bridesmaid of Summer and the flowergirl of Winter.
Autumn whispers the tones of yesterday in a minor key.
~ Gemma Wiseman
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Fantastic pictures!
Great pictures!!
Love them! Love them! LOVE them!
Can you guess what song is running through my head now? LOL
Good sequence of photos, and I thought I was the only one who taked to animals and birds. Boom & Gary of The Vermilon River, Canada.
That's great! Always interesting to see two different species interact.
Lovely pics of some lovely birds.I also wish you a Merry Christmas.XX
now that's incredible especially that first one. i like how they both stood their ground too. hope all is well.
Awesome photos and capture. I love the Kookaburra. He has a big mouth.
How exagerated are the features of these birds and what personalities they have! When a picture tells a story such as yours do you know you really have something but the feather detail on the last is out of this world especially with the contrasting species! Wonderful!
;-)WBW
Your bird photos (once again) are incredible. I would love someday to see a kookaburra!
Ha! Great photos, love that first shot!
Great captures.
That first is excellent; had me laughing this morning.
Great pictures - and how they seem to pout in the second photo is funny!
Fun shots! I can just picture the bird dialog occurring here. :)
I am wondering what the Kookaburra is saying to the Magpie that makes the Magpie listen to intently. What's the little guy's name? Nice story and wonderful images.
