Bird of the Week: 22nd April - out of place

Greetings everyone. I am back on deck after a massive week of travelling. This week's challenge is titles 'Out of Place'. Where have to captured a photo of a bird that looks like it doesn't belong there. Think about birds who are in a habitat they wouldn't normally use or using a habitat feature that is out of character...

 

This might be a challenging one!

I spotted this Laughing Kookaburra in a palm tree in a yard next to a busy road. Not a place I would have thought one of these guys would chill out

Used for the entertainment of the tourists. At first glance they look fine, but to me they are "out of place". You will find them at Sanremo, sitting on the beach, waiting for the guy with the bucket filled with fish. They don't even move away from that spot, they just sit and wait, while hundreds of tourists stare at them and take photos, and kids chase them .Very sadly out of place.

Out of home. I was standing under the tree when this Magpie fledgling dropped out of the nest, right onto the road. It looked so “out of place’, staring at the bleak and grey road , that would most likely be home for the rest of its life? I took a few photos, before I was attacked by some very protective parents.
