I can't be sure, but I thought this might be the juvenile
I haven't moved --- but the Kookaburra seems to be watching any little birds that fly overhead
here's the family, high in the Angophora tree yesterday morning
Here's the Birds in Backyards Fact Sheet where you can hear the Kookaburra's loud song, which it says is not a laugh, but rather, a territorial call to warn other birds to stay away.

Carole wonderful series on your Kookaburra. They are one of my favorites from your part of the world. Have a happy week!
Kookaburra's are one of my favourite birds, you captured these guys beautifully.
Inquisitive little thing! Great photos of the family!
Great photos with beautiful plumage detail. You were lucky to have a whole family close that you could watch and photograph.
They are such interesting looking birds! Their beaks are almost too big for their head. Still, very pretty, and your photos are fantastic!
What interesting birds! and great photos of them!
Great pictures, we have a few that visit here but they are always too far away but you sure know they are around when they laugh.

Hi Carole Great series of close up shot of this bird. I can make the sound of a Kookaburra but you don't want to be standing too close to me!!!
That's one good looking family!
