Kookaburras are members of the kingfisher family, after all, and it looks as if this kookaburra has raided someone’s garden pond!

I feel sorry for the fish. It looks very sad. I think it’s a goldfish, because of its size, but it could be a koi or something else. There might be some pond owners near by, wondering where their fish are disappearing to!
