[http://www.flickr.com/photos/chrishoopmann] Thanks - the 400/5.6L is a sharp lens :)
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/unrelatedpatterns] Poor little fellow - absolutely drenched. At one point he shook his head and was surrounded in a cloud of spray.
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/38772371@N06] Hard not to get rain in the picture at the moment ;-)

Mate that's awesome...I love the slower shutter speed to capture the rain!
David de Groot said:
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/evankok] Indeed :) 1/250th was a good compromise between hand-holdability and slowness for the rain.

Great shot Dave. As everyone has mentioned above, the rain and his/her damp feathers make this. That and that the kookaburra obligingly stood there looking so noble.

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/timothyn] Yeah the rain came out quite well really.
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/33085391@N00] Oh but this camera weighs as much as that 100-400L you've got, so you wouldn't be able to lift it ;-)
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/creativedirections] Sure does!
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/pikturesque] Aye, definitely a different view to the usual kookaburra on a branch.
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/craiglyons] Thanks!
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/richardfisher] I have some of him facing the other way too, and one shaking his head.
