my goodness!! I think you must have had a good fright, Delia, unbelievable story. Well, the young butcherbird deserved a great photo (maybe simply because you weren't eating a piece of meat lol). Top class, many tfs!!!

Wow, nothing like being outfoxed by a bird. He is a great looking bird and to tell you the truth it has happened to me. One time I was working security on a cruise ship and this Sea Gull came out of nowhere and took the sandwich right out of my hand. Thank God I had a few bites before he finished it off for me. Love your stories, Delia.

'You can't have your cake and eat it too', runs the proverb.
Perhaps not, D., but that Kookaburra could certainly eat yours. No wonder it was laughing.

Be that as it may, though, this Butcherbird is another choice cut from your odyssey in Oz. Well taken
