Backyard Bird

Once again there are good high tides early in the morning which should be great for kayaking. However, once again we are having some very bad weather - high winds and quite a lot of rain. So the best I can do is post photos of a Kookaburra that sat on a low branch in my backyard. I walked quite close without it moving at all - it just watched me with a very bright eye! The second photo is a crop to show that bright eye!
For more bird photos visit the bird photography weekly.

    He looks a wee bit like a Punk :P

    Hope your weather settles soon and you can go out again!

  2. Hi Nicole, yes I agree the "hair cut" is a bit like a punk! The weather will blow itself out in a few days but by then the best of the tides will be gone for another couple of weeks.

  8. Great shot Mick. Kookaburras always have a smirk like they just did something mischievous.
