Kookaburra on ground

On a recent trip to Cania Gorge we stopped at Charlie Moreland Park near Kenilworth, in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. As we found the local Kookaburras are a friendly lot and don't mind posing. Like these shots the best as many pics show them perched. This one was looking for a feed.

I have not seen the Blue Winged Kookaburra before, it looks very similiar to the Laughing Kookaburra. They do seem to easily get used to people.
