Wonderful! You were definitely in the right place at the right time. Great!
ReplyDeleteCrikey! That's a big meal. So the bird flew off trailing a length of tree snake?
ReplyDeleteMan,that Kookaburra looks quite frightening to me.I'm glad the one's that fly around my Brisbane home don't look like psychos.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing missing are a few bolts through it's neck .-)
Hi Mick: almost right place: had to beat through high grass and sedge to get relatively close. Willies helped refind bird for me.
ReplyDelete@snail: yep. Not first such capture I've seen. Probably no great feat for bird big as BWKook.
@Darren: psychos are the ones installing the bolts.
Great capture Tony x 2.
ReplyDeleteIf I could write "squared" in numerals I would.
You and the Kooka, I mean.
Cheers

Hi Denis: Yep. Made up a bit for missing similar snake grab in the caravan park recently. Nobody tolD me till too late :-(
ReplyDelete@Tyto Tony: I just meant that this Kookaburra looks like a Frankenstein compared to the cute Koookas that fly around my place,hence the bolt comment.I didn't mean to actually put or shoot bolts into it's neck.
ReplyDeleteI just meant a couple of bolts either side of the neck would complete the Frankenstein look.
