Two Kookaburras
While taking pictures of the bottom kookaburra, a second flew in an landed above him.
They were both fairly tame, allowing me to get quite close.

love these birds !
They are indeed great birds :)
I found it interesting that one was quite ruffled but the other very sleek.
Great capture David.
Thanks Ian :)
Nice series of shots, David. Great birds, and I like the composition in this shot particularly, with them sat on the branch on the left.
Thanks David, I would have preferred if they were facing the other way, but one doesn't get that much choice when it comes to animals, and had I shot from the other side I'd have not got the interesting Bunya Pine trunk.
this one's a fve too:)
really great capture!!
(thank you very much for confirming the "boardwalk":)
You're welcome Maria :)
This is a lovely shot!!
Thanks Maggie.
Wonderful capture of them David. When I see a kookaburra a certain song which I sang at primary school gets stuck in my head (I think you will know the one I mean :-)) )
I do indeed - I think it's even been quoted on one of the other photos ;)
This is an awesome capture David! I agree, the conventional wisdom would say that they should face the other way, but this makes for a really unique composition. You have some brilliant bird shots on here, I have a mate who really wants to be a better bird photographer - I'll have to get him onto Flickr and your stream!
Thanks Chris :)
I enjoy taking bird shots, just don't always have the patience to go with it. My goal is to get some good in-flight action shots, but this is proving a bit of a challenge at the moment.
Best of luck with the in-flight shots. I have been driven nuts trying to get in-flight shots! Still, I like a challenge, that's the great thing about this hobby, the challenge never ends!
