Kookaburra Killing Lorikeet.
Captured this Kookaburra capturing this small baby lorikeet and then taking up into branches and smacking hard against the tree branch-the noises was very loud.I think kookaburra's believe in the maxim 'Over kill is better than under kill',I quickly manouvered into the best position.Used manual mode-the trees leaves kept shading and then moving to allow sun light on him,so I had to work the settings-eventually settled on F 5.6 speed 640 and iso 400,and aimed for his eye to get the all important eye glint,I was lucky to have time to change focus point and grab more shots.Just amazing stuff to see with your own eyes!
Hope these are of interest-thanks for looking,Cheers Chris
