Spotted this Kookaburra sitting on this sign up at Green Hill late this afternoon. The sign says "Off Take Valve" but it should have been "Take Off Valve" since the Kookaburra flew off seconds later. Yeah I know - that's pretty bad.
Ha! Seeing the tail feathers here in this picture inspired me to google for a selection of kookaburra photos. There were some disturbing images of these guys dining on the young of other birds. What?? That's mean! The circle of life is a rough thing for some. Guess it's good to be the Kookaburra.
Great shot too :)
