Grey Butcherbird

I went to my usual spot to see what birds would be around, and the only one we saw was this young Kookaburra sitting in a bush at eye level, or so I thought. The only reason we noticed him was because we were photographing a Lizard that was about 4 feet in front of him. We spent about twenty minutes photographing him, he was rather obliging I have to say. Later I find out he is a young Grey Butcherbird.
