Neat photo. I didn't realize they could ever look that skinny!

It's hard to believe that is a Kookaburra!
There must be some significance in the posture, especially since he (she?)held it for so long. Either a territorial warning or a mating posture, would be interesting to find out.

He didn't seemed to be concerned about anything, Ykm. He sat there in various positions for at east 10 minutes, then flew off to a tree about 10m away.

Looks like it's trying to be a Tawny Frogmouth!!! They often have that stretched out, trying to be a log appearance.
Sat in the backyard with hubby having a cup of tea years ago & i kept looking at one of my pots on the fence, because it looked different, suddenly realized it was a Tawny Frogmouth!!
In case you haven't had one to visit:
