User's notes

Not the best of images as they were taken from some distance away. They show a Kookaburra having just dug its prey out of a lawn and are provided for the record of the type of prey being taken in this area. Unsure what the prey is but the first and second images show its top and underside with what appear to be four small legs. The prey also appears to have a dark brown head with a white band behind it.
