# Blue-winged Kookaburra (Dacelo leachii)

Posted on March 11, 2017 by Tara

The Blue-winged Kookaburra (Dacelo leachii) is slightly smaller than the more familiar Laughing Kookaburra and has a different kind of call (see video section).

I got my best view at Nitmiluk NP but also saw some in Kakadu NP. They have a huge range across Australia.

First let’s hear the bird’s call.

Now compare to the Laughing Kookaburra. The former doesn’t have the same sense of humour!

Great HD clip!

And a female, not sure how you tell the females from males.
