Some nice photos, love the Dusky honeyeater photos and the Brown Cuckoo dove. Do you know what the last bird is? It looks beautiful but I have no clue what it is, welcome to the forum.

Hey QLdbird great shots and a good selection. I was bird watching up there a few weeks ago and it was literally teeming with birds.
I think the last one is a grey fantail Amateur or maybe a Golden whistler? Havent checked them so that could be wrong. Do you know QLdbird?

Maleny is one beautiful spot, do you live there too?

No, I don't know him, or her for that matter, and I'm pretty sure that last bird is a grey fantail Birdie. It's always great to see a new bird isn't it :) You know I'd be so happy to move to Queensland, all these birds and forest paradises, and secondly, at least they have a good Origin team!

I agree with grey fantail - i have one here and he looks just like that: if he ever stands still long enough to see him :)

Sorry Amateur , I was meaning Qldbird.
That is a love shot of the brown cuckoo dove, looks very graceful with it's long tail. I have been lucky enough to see one up close and personal, and couldn't believe the size of it as I had never heard of them. That was when I first started coming on here for IDs etc

Thanks All,
The last one is definitely a Grey Fantail.
When I was up there I was lucky enough to see a Rufous Whistler and an Eastern Spinebill but I didn't get a shot of them. No I do not live there but I love it up there.
