Thanks for your comments.

Wallaby, you'd be familiar with these incredibly bold Kookoburras at any barbeque, where they swoop down silently from out of nowhere to snatch a snagger from your hand?

Nanny, we've cared for a couple of injured Kookoburras over the years and their feathers are very thick and soft. The same can't be said of their beaks, which would give a crocodile a run for its money.

Mrs Ed, I never thought a picture of a wire fence could actually be beautiful, but that one is. Aren't they funny things, birds? Tiny little things that are so courageous and bold as to scold us human critters, when we're hundreds of times their size.

This is a shot I took yesterday of a Swamp Hen, Porphyrio Porphyrio. He was giving me "the look". The next shots I captured, but won't post, explained why.
