Yep, you just came too close

Kookaburra about to fly away - the story of my life as I follow birds around on my walks. Maybe I should carry food!
Great shot, they certainly know when the camera appears :)

I know your pain, they can be uncooperative. This is still a great shot.

Great capture and dof.

Great action shot. If you feed him raw mince meat you will never get rid of him.

Look at all the beautiful browns in this image! The Kookaburra would definitely fit into my November theme on browns. That's quite the look in his eye, as if he's disgruntled about having to move.

We sing this at school: Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree.... :) Fabulous capture!

Wonderful capture! great clarity!

That's a great shot- even if he is about to fly away!

What an awesome capture and the clarity and details are incredible!! Fantastic lighting and composition! I have my feeders close to our deck and then I sit on my glider and watch and wait until the birds come in to eat. The feeders are surrounded by several trees and so I can get captures of them in the trees and on the feeders. If I go into the woods or for walks, I can never get a good photo!! Your's is just fantastic!!

@hermann @karlow75 @thresheg @smileclicksnap @gilbertwood @tonygig Thanks for your great comments. Much appreciated

@terryliv Yes, it seems a lot of us are posting kookaburras at the moment. They are reasonably easy to find with their distinctive call, although not very helpful with their poses
November 6th, 2014  
@onewing I'll have to start carrying a selection of food when I go for the walks in the hope of birds coming closer!
November 6th, 2014  
@cashew That sounds like a lovely setup Kathy. I'm trying to cultivate patience, but it's not my strong point. I do enjoy the challenge of finding and capturing shots of wild birds though.
November 6th, 2014  
your Kookaburra shots are wonderful
November 6th, 2014  
Beautiful capture Robyn, you must have lots of Kookaburras where you live;)
November 6th, 2014  
Beautiful capture Robyn, and crystal clear. fav.
