Kookaburra waits for mouse lunch

This dignified Kookaburra is waiting for his mouse lunch, but it's unusual for him to sit on the ground. Usually they're so cautious that it takes them awhile to fly down from the tree to collect their food. We had a mouse plague a few months ago, and the Kookaburras learnt to drop by to pick up the dead trapped mice that Kurt would throw to them. At least the mice weren't wasted!
