Re: Post your pics! 
Hi Alana,
While the photo you posted does look different to the photo Rigil posted, I still think that Rigil's photo shows a Laughing Kookaburra. There are four different species of Kookaburra (Laughing, Blue-winged, Spangled and Rufous-bellied) and there is a lot of variation in appearance between individual Kookaburras and/or between male and female kookaburras e.g. different feather and tail patterns, varying amounts of blue or complete lack of blue, different eye colour etc. Kookaburras often look dramatically different to one another when comparing photos, especially when the photos being compared have been taken in completely different circumstances.
