No stack exposure, just a snapshot at f/11. IIRC it wasn't realistic to get closer, I think there was a steep bank there so moving towards the bird would have required growing several feet. It wasn't in good light anyway but it was the only kookaburra I'd seen during the whole trip so any photo is better than none!
That image is the full frame; here is a crop at 100% with a quick adjustment using the shadow & highlight tool. http://gallery.multi.net.nz/photo/907/ (The twig aligned with its beak would annoy me if I'd made a better job of the photo.)
