This poor kookaburra was being constantly attacked by these 2 willy wagtails. They launched a combined attack with one distracting and the other attacking. The kookaburra just sat most of the time, occasionally squawking or opening that sharp beak if they came near his head.

Great capture Robyn. Wagtails are so hard to catch in flight..
I don't know why but all birds seem to dislike Kookaburras and they all give them curry. Fav
The kookaburra may have been outnumbered but the wagtails were out-muscled I think. Maybe they had something to protect? Fav anyway, its a brilliant shot!
