Rather partial to a good Kookaburra myself. An admirable portrait

Admirable indeed, unusual to see Kooka's mouth open!

great shot of an aussie icon. Always amazed me how birds can twist their heads like that.

Hey I like this... Good and unusual angle, something different and as a true Kooka, looks like he's laughing, terrific... The guys with birding experience will offer tips but I like this for the pose...

Yes, the kookaburra was indeed laughing. He hardly stopped the entire time i was photographing. :D

Do any of the bird experts have any advice for future reference?

Thanks
