Yeah!! Another Blue Winged Kookaburra

Day 18 - Jabiru, Kakadu NP

Back at the caravan park in Jabiru, I heard this raucous, maniacal cackling call, the call of a Blue Winged Kookaburra. WooHoo!!!!
Grabbed the camera and went off looking for it.

A cackling maniac?! I would love to hear his call! Wonderful capture of him, his eye does look a bit disturbed. 😊

[Taffy]

I love how you describe its call -- and the bird itself seems to have a lot of personality.

[Margaret Pengelly]

That dagger beak is what impresses me. Great shot.

Great shot, the lighting is perfect.

[Diana]

That call sounds pretty fierce, fabulous shot of this otherwise beautiful bird. The lighting is wonderful.

[Issi Bannerman]

Great capture of this beauty!

Oh, lucky you. We only saw one all trip and it was a fly through. Lovely shot.

@louannwarren I stole those words from a description I found on the internet. They seemed to fit. You can hear their calls here https://wildambience.com/wildlife-sounds/blue-winged-kookaburra/
