After watching the superb ABC documentary, our Shipping Reporter , as usual poking his beak about the waterfront , came across incredible signs of the Laser Beak Man craze on Magnetic Island . On a wild stage , below, a variety of birds came and went, some sitting on a giant rocky beak .
The white bird in the following shot , a Great Egret , was obviously stage struck , performing a series of beak illusions , one casting a shadow that made him look like a big-billed Pelican .
Carried away with his act, he then produced an outline which made him look like a duck. This was followed by a rabbit !!!
While photographing the entertaining birds on the rocks , an inquisitive Kookaburra got in the act by taking an obvious Laser Beak Man pose.
