It's very wet and miserable here, so another one of those shots found lurking in the files. This is a well trained if slightly vicious Kookaburra at Paradise Park. ( see V2 )
Thank you to all who commented and clicked at Christmas and may you all have what you wish in the new year.
All the best Nick

i see what you mean by V2 Nick like v1 good detail and that beak looks very strong
Hope you have a good new year best wishes

Noisy things they are, too! 
Like the 'viscous' adjective

Smashing image V1 Nick, and like they say, a Bird in the Hand ------------

what a lovely kook ...
my auntie lived out in the sticks in Aus.. i used to go on school holidays to visit
she used to feed them rawsteak....
Two excellent images Nick, it does look rather vicious in v2
Quote: How wonderful to be able to hold one of these birds.
And a very pretty dinner it's having too.

I think the snake is a rubber one which it is playing with!
V1 shows how large they are, and however viscious, I've always been fascinated by their looks.
Lovely to see it hand held instead of in a cage
