wow I'll second that... GREAT capture. Thanks for sharing.

Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best

If you don't mind me being a bit finnicky here, but it has legs, though I must say, they're so small I'm surpries if they would support the thing. Nice cap, I have also realised them being a bit shy lately, normally I could walk within a few metres of one, now I can't get within 10 before the fly off.

Your right about the legs on the legless lizard Amateur. They are in fact have legs but no they can't support their body with them so they slither like a snake and are often mistaken for them because you can't see the legs easily. Aparently the Kookaburras don't care what we call them. This is a young bird and was being fed by others in our yard at the time.
