One Frightening Kookaburra

A Frankenkookaburra???

I've been following a blog called  
Tyto Tony (Life in a tropical Queensland wetlands) which is a beautiful blog on bird-watching in tropical north Queensland by a bloke who calls himself Tyto Tony and describes himself as a re(tired) Kiwi journalist now living in Ingham, North Queensland, Australia.
This site has wonderful wildlife photography of bird-life that TT goes around snapping himself, by the looks of it, on his website.
I've been following his adventures, off and on, since coming across his blog when I was trying to identify my little bird friend that flew into my front window in February.

The stunned Sacred Kingfisher
recovering from some window pain;-)

This morning though I was quite impressed by this frightening looking Blue Winged Kookaburra with a snake hanging out of it beak.
The only thing missing, as I wrote in the comment box on his site, are a few bolts through it's neck.
I'm sure glad the Kookaburras around Brisbane only look like these ones I snapped on my mother-in-laws clothes line.

Snapped on my cell phone/camera in my MIL's backyard.

These come every afternoon for a feed
 with the Rainbow Lorikeets

Feeding time for the feathered friends

I love this photo he has on his side bar of a beautiful rainbow it looks like he captured on his travels.

Stunning stuff!  
Go check his work out for yourself.
