The variety of colours on their rumps is quite stunning.<br />You've captured great shots of the Kookaburra too. I didn't have to crop mine when I posted them on WBW earlier this year. In fact, one came so close that I had to zoom back out to about 70mm (on my 55-250mm lens) and I was still able to get just his head in the frame. I had never realised how bold they can be!!<br />Great shots and another great post.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17541748309832254889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613882486442283643.post-86258851924835594122012-06-13T21:48:50.868+10:002012-06-13T21:48:50.868+10:00Beautiful birds.

Or maybe you just speak nicely to them and ask them to pose for you? I can't for the life of me work out how you can take such great wildlife photos. I have seen parrots in the wild and of course we now have parrokeets breeding here (well certainly roosting here in their hundreds), but I've never seen a kookaburra. Hoping I will when I'm in Aussie later this year.Fun60https://www.blogger.com/profile/08084441984556826917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613882486442283643.post-79129572116451044022012-06-13T01:30:22.466+10:002012-06-13T01:30:22.466+10:00just awesome!
