These would be the most cheeky bird I've ever heard of Vas and I must say, brilliantly taken !!. Superb shots as per usual and showing excellent details. They are one very large KF for sure mate, I just love the markings they have and that song they scream out. Never seen one, but seen plenty on documentaries.

All the best Vas and top shooting.

Danny.

Thanks again Danny
Funny thing is I bet a Kookaburra documentary would be more popular in NZ than Oz
Maybe some of us Aussies that either get them in our yard or see them a lot are fed up with their "laugh"

Other birds don't like them......Willy wag tails and other small birds will swoop them often as they will take chicks/eggs.

Thanks for posting....some nice shots there.

I have to go and try and shoot some at a local park this morning (maybe not in flight.....I am too slow for that mostly unless I have plenty of room).

I actually like Kookaburras but they really are thugs of the bird world.
