When my daughter was in Australia for a year, the thing that always struck me were the amazingly exotic bird calls in the background during our phone calls.

Lovely Kingfisher shots! :)TALONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03205633556998220372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534124540070958712.post-12204049606719191542013-07-18T14:41:50.573-06:002013-07-18T14:41:50.573-06:00What luck...and great shots.What luck...and great shots.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534124540070958712.post-54344894931414678032013-07-18T14:21:42.525-06:002013-07-18T14:21:42.525-06:00And I thought mullets were out!
