Blue winged Kookaburra

I saw this fellow land in the tree just outside my yard. He sat there and waited while I got my camera, changed my lens and took a few shots... very obliging. I don't have a very good telephoto lens, that's another thing on my wish list.

Looks like he is having a bit of a bad hair day. Great shot.

[Mhel]

Beautiful bird and love the touch of blue on his feather!

[Carole Imes]

Fantastic shot...he is so cute. We don't have them in Florida so it's always interesting to see a new face. Our birds don't seem to be as obliging!

[Sheralee S]

@poggy1818 Totally the stare down I think Dana :D

@lorihiro Oh No Lori, I apologise for that ;-)
