The morning ritual of listening to Fran Kelly on the ABC while eating cereal at the table on the back verandah , Curlews nearby waiting to be fed , was interrupted when a fat Kookaburra flew in. After inspecting the breakfast dish, it then moved down the table , causing the Curlews to hiss at the intruder . It flew into a nearby tree , the Curlews were fed and then the Kookaburra flew back to the table and ate some of the Curlew food.
Later in the morning, back on the verandah , with a cup of coffee and toasted sourdough ,spread with Danish Brie, the latter an unexpected gift from an artist moving to Wollongong , NSW, the Kookaburra arrives again out of the blue with several Green Ant passengers visible on feathers , and eyes off the food . Given a piece of toast with the last dob of Brie, above, he treats it like a snake, belts it to death on the table . Then he flutters over to pyjamas thrown across the table , settles down , pecks the clothing .
