K – Kookaburra and Kangaroo Paw
Kookaburras often sit on the fence between me and my neighbours. They have a fantastic call which is where they get their nickname ‘laughing kookaburra‘ or ‘laughing jackass’. Make sure you check out their call from one of the links. They are actually kingfishers and were introduced to Tasmania, originally they were only found on the eastern seaboard.
Kangaroo Paw
Another plant from touring Western Australia is the Kangaroo Paw. I have the black and yellow version growing in my backyard but I think I might have cut it back too far as it hasn’t flowered for a couple of years.
Great photos! Thanks for sharing your favorite Ks.

I didn’t know kookaburras were a kind of kingfisher. I love the kingfishers we have near us.
