Here's looking at you

Uploaded: October 26, 2008

Description

This kooka knocks on the window each morning for something to eat. This arvo I heard a splash & saw a rather large thing in the pool flapping around. It was him, swimming & diving back in, then went down behind the fence & rolled in dirt.
Lens aperture F/3.2, shutter speed 1/158sec, focal length 23mm, taken at 4:30pm this arvo in our back yard..

Thanks everyone. I like them when they stick their feathers up & stare at you. They seem to flatten them down when they see the camera. #6665200
