Young kookaburra

This is a young kookaburra who stayed put while I was about 3 metres away. The kookaburras were amazing today in the bush, singing and zooming around and laughing like crazy, with a number of young ones included. I took about 600 photos with my new lens. This one is barely cropped

Do you mean you took 600 photos of kookaburras, Robyn?
He's very handsome, nicely captured, never seen one before.

@quietpurplehaze Thanks Hazel. Yes, I heard the kookaburras laughing and followed them around the bushlands taking photos until I couldn't hold my lens up anymore!

The young kookaburra didn't laugh, he more squeaked and squawked, but the adults around him laughed merrily
