Laughing Kookaburra

Laughing Kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae)

These photos were taken at the Mount Elliot Lookout at Katandra Reserve, on the New South Wales Central Coast.

The Laughing Kookaburras (Dacelo novaeguineae) at this location will allow humans to approach to within 3 metres.

Featherdale Wildlife Park, Oct 2009 (Part Three)

Brahminy Kite (Haliastur indus)

The original post got too long, so Featherdale Wildlife Park’s birds of prey, tawny frogmouths and kookaburras get their own page. The water birds (and others) are in Part Two.

That’s a rather interesting expression on the face of the Brahminy Kite (Haliastur indus) above.
