Kookaburra In Tree

This kookaburra was sitting in the melaleuca
for some time an allowed me to get lots of shots of him.
Indigenous Australians believe that when one hears a kookaburra laugh,
it is a warning that there are snakes around!!

Nikon D600
1/320s f/5.6 at 300.0mm iso1600 full exif

Dear Sally and Hal,
Thanks for your compliments.
I was lucky he just sat there until I got a little too close.

Looks like a young one, Elaine.
A lovely shot of one of these noisy birds.
We never see or hear them, around here.
