Almost too embarrassed to post this one, a common Aussie bird and one I wont generally go out of my way to photograph, as they are too easy much of the time. I much prefer to go hunting afield for more elusive and less common birds.....ih.....that's my trip in life
However I guess the overseas folks on here wouldn't see too many, so I'll post it up.
A member of the Kingfisher family, the Laughing Kookaburra, a common and distinctive sound in the Aussie bush or outer suburbia...{ Trivia ....also used for bird sounds in Tarzan movies years ago} This one was in nice light and like the oof Wattle flowers/leaves as a backdrop, so I took the shot, but to be honest I would normally bypass this bird without a second thought.
Canon 7D + 500 f4.....f5, 1/400, ISO 200, no flash, tripod mounted....basic edit, slight crop, selective sharpen
