Kookaburra
Elimbah
Another report of a black Kookaburra about twenty kilometres away from the one reported at Woodford.
Different bird as this bird has blue and white on the wing.
This bird was reported to Birds Queensland at the Ekka and I followed it up.

Laughing Kookaburra
Woodford
I was sent a couple of photos from a Land for Wildlife landholder at Woodford who took photos of a black kookaburra on his property. A quick google search indicates that this is from a genetic mutation called hyper-melanism (the opposite of albinism). Have any of you encountered this condition before in wildlife? I have sent these photos to the QM for their feedback.

Pomarine Jaeger, Parasitic Jaeger, Brown Skua, Brown Noddy
North Stradbroke Island
Pomarine Jaeger: (3). Parasitic Jaeger: (4). Brown Skua: (1). Brown Noddy: (55) and Frigatebird sp (1). We had hoped for more following cyclone Yasi, but it would appear the cyclone had minimal effect this far south.
