KOOKABURRA

CHESTER ZOO

Yes, it's another Chester Zoo image !! I'm still waiting to get full dexterity in my dented digits, so I can operate the camera properly. I'm taking the chance to catch up on the post-processing of some of the shots, from last year, I hadn't yet got around to. This is one of 6 Kookaburra shots I uploaded to my Chester Zoo gallery today. It was a toss up between this one and the close up below, for my PaD image.

What an interesting bird, great capture of it, really nice composition, works very nicely indeed. Good job!

I like this one the best, I don't remember seeing these at Chester Zoo.

Unusual looking bird... I like the way you have captured this. Almost give the bird the look of a characature (sp?)

this one is the better of the 2. nice contrasting bg as well.
funny birds or should i say - they like to laugh a lot. :)

This shot nicely catches the colur of these birds. I have about 4 or 5 who live in the protected bushland across the road from my home in Western Australia but surprisingly I have never photgraphed them. You have inspired me to go out and get them next time I hear their laughing call.
