Karen these were taken at Bribie Island on Monday I took a lot of photos mostly at a fair distance from me. You might be interested to know that I heard them at Riverdale Park about midday today over the back near the river, unfortunately I didn't see them.
One of my favourites. We always look forward to their arrival in late October - November. I like their soft calls, too.
Shane, thank you for the pic. Where was it taken?
I have never seen one of these, ever, and feel deprived. They are so lovely and apparently quite common. One day......

Nice work Shane.
Good to have proof that they live up to their name...

Thanks Tim. I wish I could have been closer to fill the frame but the trees were tall but still pleased to see them.

Shane
I love their colours. just stunning. well done seeing and photographing them
Thanks Shane. I'm thinking Riverdale Park is a great place for birds (and snakes).

Beautiful shot Shane they are a lovely looking bird, we were lucky to get some photos last year but not lucky enough to one with food in its mouth.
I think that these are the 'prettiest' of birds, a great combination of colours
