OO OO OO OO AH AH AH AH......... Sorry couldn't resist doing that. My favorite bird, there are a lot of them around were I live. This shows him\her off so well, bold chest, strong beak, and the feathers sticking up on top of his head, a profile shot is the only way to show the beauty of a Kookaburra. Well done!
