I thought you had taken a trip to Australia, Ann! Wonderful shot and the mesh actually looks like a texture background! Great detail.

Brilliant close up image....great that the wire did not affect the bird detail...mind you it's always a good tip to have wire cutters in the cam bag for just these moments !!

Ah the Laughing Kookaburra...he's got me in stitches with that silly look on his face bought about by the funny beak !!

A pretty bird this. Some nice feather detail and a great eye. the aperture choice has knocked out most of the netting in the background so well done Ann.

Great detail, his feathers are superb. A rather mean looking fellow, with his overbite................Sandy

You've excelled with this one Ann - a bottler - this is a "Blue-winged" Kooka, found from the Queensland border over the "top end" to mid way down the coast of West Australia. Not the same laugh as the "Laughing Kooka". Bill

If you'll allow the pun, this looks like a Pluckfella, all the way from down under.
