Dacelo novaeguineae. The biggest of the australian kingfisher, with a sometimes strange behaviour.
Further information on: http://www.austmus.gov.au/factSheets/laughing_kookaburra.htm
The Laughing Kookaburra occurs throughout eastern Australia. It has also been introduced to Tasmania and the extreme south-west of Western Australia, as well as New Zealand. It inhabits most areas where there are suitable trees. In the central north and north-west of Australia it is replaced by the Blue-winged Kookaburra. The two overlap in range throughout Queensland, although the Blue-winged Kookaburra tends to occupy the coastal areas.

Bonjour Pierre
Excellent portrait.Le PDV est tres bien et l'image est bien en focus avec de beau détail du plumage.
Merci Michel

Is that a glint of michief I see in his eye? Beautiful portrait of the Kingfisher. Very sharp, colorful, and wonderful contrast against the BG. The composition works very well, here.
