Laughing Kookaburra

[Colin Driscoll]

Regulars in my front yard so lots of opportunities to photograph. This one was sitting in heavy shade with a shaft of mid afternoon sunlight catching it so I left the mood as it was.
Bird has a dirty tummy from lots of ground foraging.

Neat looking bird. Like the framing and the pose on the bird.
