Gorgeous shot, Werner! I reminds me in some ways of the kingfisher. Great details! Your beautiful image has been featured by Wild Birds Of The World, a nature photography group. L/F
Werner Padarin replied:
Glad you like it & appreciate the feature, thank you William - kookaburras are part of the kingfisher family, so your instincts are spot on.

Werner Padarin replied:
Thank you Bill n Deb for those kind words - I was taking some shots of a waterfall at the time - I looked around and saw this young kookaburra sitting maybe 30 metres behind me - I approached it very slowly, taking shots all the time until I reached to about 3 metres of the bird!

Thank you Ann - the look, interpreted as though of a human facial expression, is quite captivating - very glad you like the shot!
