From atop our bread oven this Kookaburra made a quick dive into the undergrowth and was soon back with its prize: a writhing baby Eastern Brown Snake. Juvenile snakes of this species are readily identified by their stripes and head markings. After bashing it a couple of times on the top of the oven, the winner flew off into a nearby eucalypt.
