Can you see the GOAT? Photographer’s photo of a kookaburra has some people seeing TWO animals
- Photographer’s image of iconic Australian bird left some seeing two animals
- Staring at the bird for long enough the face of a kid seems to appear
- ‘I had a mate from the USA who pointed it out to me,’ photographer David said
A photographer has captured the moment an iconic Australian bird did its best impression of a baby goat.
At first David Hill, 59, just thought he had captured an image of a kookaburra in a tree in Gosford, New South Wales.
It was a lovely photo in itself, but then a friend pointed out something very bizarre if you look a little closer.
Staring at the bird for long enough the face of a kid seems to appear looking the opposite way to the kookaburra.

Former music teacher David said he didn’t think he had discovered a new species, but kookaburras were known for having a sense of humour.
He said: ‘The kookaburra is a funny bird anyway, just looking at them normally they can be very odd, with crazy hairstyles and expressions.
‘I had a mate from the USA who pointed it out to me, and when you see it you can’t unsee it, I was staring at it for hours.
‘When I am out photographing birds, I do actually talk to them, if there’s no one around I’m definitely talking to the birds.
‘Even this kookaburra here I was talking, I just see what they do and see if they look at me because it can make a better photo.
‘I tell my mates I can talk magpie, which of course I can’t.’
David, who lives with his wife Rosie and their five children, said he’s just very happy people enjoy his photos and he’s found that people like the images with some action or something unusual.
He said: ‘I love taking images of animals with character in their faces, and this time it was two animals for the price of one.’
