One of two
Australia has two oystercatcher species, this is the Pied Oystercatcher, the other one (Sooty) is completely black apart from the legs and bill.- delia todd

Stray feathers
I'd now left the main footpath and wandered down onto the beach... not a lot to see, but there was this rather pretty Silver Gull.- delia todd

... for buried treasure
The same Australian Ibis as I showed you yesterday, but this time he appears to be hunting for the buried treasure he knew must be down there. I'd not really noticed the red area on top of the head before! Saturday Fun.- delia todd

Confused
Not only are Beach Thick-knees called stone-curlews sometimes, they also moved to another Genus meaning they are known by another scientific name by some LOL But these were our main target for them, as they're not seen everywhere.- delia todd

A different cuckoo
So my last day with Hans and Judy and my final day in Queensland. An early start back to Bribie Island, as H&J hadn't been there for some years and it was near the airport. I sure didn't mind re-visiting this lovely place. First bird to show himself was a pretty Black-faced Cuckooshrike (he...- delia todd

Good move
We then went back to the railway museum in Blackbutt, which worked out for us, sort of! For thereon the corner of the museum building was the pair of Red-rumped Parrots; but I messed up the pictures somewhat, but here it is as a record shot.- delia todd

A local special
Then we were one a real hunt for the Red-rumped Parrot as Hans was determined to try and find one for me, when suddenly one landed on the telegraph wire not too far from where the Dollarbird was!!! Sadly, again the light was not good from where we were, but at least I saw one and got a shot of it.- delia todd

Dollar in the blue
On our way back home we drove around Blackbutt again and found this Dollarbird near the golf course. Such pretty birds when the light gets them right, but didn't show too well in my pictures.- delia todd

The little guy was back
Even though I say "little" they're still quite big and he was smaller than the other Lace Monitor (or Goanna) that was around. You can just see the end of his tail on the far left of the picture.- delia todd

Unnoticed
I'd not noticed the Lewin's Honeyeater behind the Green Catbird until this morning, when I spotted a moving white spot as I scrolled through my images. So did a pretty big crop and adjusted some levels and he popped out a bit.- delia todd

This must be one of the most attractive of the small passerines in Queensland, and I saw quite a few Eastern Yellow Robins whilst I was there.- delia todd

Togetherness
I'm presuming this is a pair of Red-browed finches as I think the one on the left is the male (the red eyebrow has a straight end) and from another picture it appears to show a pointed end for the bird on the right.- delia todd

Not keen
This Australian Brushturkey couldn't have been less interested in clementines, as he walked straight past it. This picture shows their tail shape very well I think.- delia todd

The next guy I spotted was a Yellow-throated Scrubwren on the log above the waterhole. Such pretty little guys, though at times can look rather fierce.- delia todd

Plenty to go at
No sooner had Hans put some clementine segments on a log then a Lewin's Honeyeater was straight in. He sure had the pick of what was on offer LOL Sorry if I'm not quite with it when trying to browse the Gallery, I'm in a lot of pain with sciatica, so I'm either hurting, or sleeping due to the...- delia todd
