Hello,

I usually don't post here but thought some of you might like this shot. I found this Kookaburra on a hike I recently took just outside of Melbourne, Australia. These birds will sometimes let you get quite close if you're careful.

Cheers,
Phil

Hi Phil:

Neat pic!

Was he sitting in an "old gum tree, eating all the gum drops he could see"? grin

Sorry, I couldn't resist...
