Kookaburra

I snapped  this laughing kookaburra in a large gum tree at a park in Toodyay. His raucous laugh alerted me that he was around. I am a bit of a novice taking bird photos but at least he sat still long enough for me get a couple of shots.

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year

    This bird is reminiscent of kingfishers in our country. Great shots!
