Willie Wagtail attacking a Laughing Kookaburra


Willie Wagtail & Laughing Kookaburra

Rhipidura leucophrys and Dacelo novaeguineae

This is not a composite but a fluke shot. Natural prey of the Kookaburra are insects, reptiles, small mammals and crustaceans. They will also take unprotected eggs from nests and are often "harrassed" by smaller birds. It was the noise that the Willie Wagtail was making which attracted attention.
