That is a gorgeous bird! Great capture!!

great capture mate!

Thanks for the comments but I have to admit static Kookaburras shots like this one are just a bit too easy. They make regular visits to peoples gardens and if they feed them become quite tame and will land on your hand to take food. At picnic spots they will take meat of your plate or a hot BBQ if youre not vigilant. At home family groups of 5 or more will arrive and laugh until they get your attention. Young ones will sit next to offerings and squawk until mum or dad puts it in their mouth. Just having them around makes me laugh!

Still a very nice picture :clap: Nice job!

Super information on these cheeky guys, Stephen, and a gorgeous Kooka pic (easy to take or not)!!! o Loads of thanks for sharing!!! :t: :t: :clap:
