Greetings,
A few days ago, I was sent one of these photos by a friend of mine,
who had in turn received them from someone else.
Thinking that Birding-Aus readers might be interested in seeing them, I
tracked down the original photographer to obtain permission to post the
links.
They were taken near Denmark, in SW WA in late December 2010
by Fremantle-based Sam Blight - musician, graphic designer and boomerang
maker.

It's sobering to think what impact Laughing Kookaburras must have had,
and continue to have, on SW WA, and Tasmania, regions to which they
are not native.
I have heard stories of at least one rural property in Tasmania, where an
effort to reduce
Kookaburra numbers has resulted in a huge increase in the number of
small birds.
Cheers
Philip
