Getting ready to start the tour

First thing this morning we went to a lagoon north of the Brisbane airport and saw many bird species including all four Egret species, Comb-crested Jacana, Pacific Black Duck, Grey Teal, Wandering Whistling Duck, Buff-banded Rail, Whiskered Terns, Australasian Darters, Little Black and Pied Cormorants, and Striped and Blue-faced Honeyeaters. Rainbow Lorikeets were seen nesting in tree hollows and a nest of Noisy Miners was nice and close for great views of the chicks being fed.

After the lagoon it was off to the World Heritage rainforests at Lamington National Park staying at O’Reilly’s resort. We were greeted immediately by Australian King Parrots and Crimson Rosellas.

A short walk after lunch introduced everyone to the amazing boardwalk with the friendliest birds in Australia. The Eastern Yellow Robins and White-browed and Yellow-throated Scrubwrens were the first to greet us and it wasn’t long until we got our first of many, always entertaining, Australian Logrunners. We continued along the border track admiring the amazing forest and more birds such as Golden Whistler, Large-billed Scrubwren and Rufous Fantail. Not long down the track we heard a crashing through the trees, to our surprise it was a Common Ringtail Possum falling out of a tree, probably rolled out of bed! It gave a us a great view as it just hung on for dear life, clearly stunned by the rude awakening. Other great sightings that day were Land Mullet and Southern Angle headed Dragon, Eastern Spinebill, Crimson Finch, and Superb Fairywren. A great species list to start the trip (70 species)!

9th November 2024 Lamington National Park
We started the day early for a pre-breakfast bird walk along the board walk and Border Track. The target this morning was Albert’s Lyrebird. So, this meant a slightly faster pace moving past some of the bird species we had already seen. It wasn't long until we got views of some young Paradise Riflebirds practising their display! Further on we went and more great views of Logrunners and Russet-tailed Thrush.

Everyone was on their best behaviour walking slowly and quietly scanning for movement. Once we got to the turn around point, I looked towards the Border Track and an Albert’s Lyrebird was calmly scratching! Of course, I frantically motioned everyone to come over and the Lyrebird stayed and foraged for all to see! Then another came out! We all got great views and some cracking photos! Such a highlight and what a relief for the guide too ;) ! Great morning and well-earned breakfast!

Albert's Lyrebird

After breakfast was the Python Rock walk and we did come across its namesake, a Carpet Python, as well as a few more Land Mullets. Enough about reptiles, we got great views of Spectacled and Black-faced Monarchs, White-throated Treecreepers, Brown Gerygone and Brown Thornbill, adding some more species to our list.

Spectacled Monarch

We heard Noisy Pitta calling but unfortunately no luck, he didn't want to come closer to us. After a lovely view at the lookout, it was time to turn around, greeting our Python friend on the way back. A Green Catbird and Bassian Thrush on the way were more great birds to add to the list. Another fruitful walk. In the afternoon we enjoyed watching Red necked Pademelon foraging in the grassy areas on the edge of the forest. We also saw Red-legged Pademelon further in the forest. Other species in the afternoon were Top knot and White-headed Pigeon and another amazing view of pair of Lyrebirds walking past us and calmly foraging! What amazing luck! After dinner was spotlighting. We saw a Common Ring-tailed Possum, Southern Leaf tailed Gecko and Fletcher’s Frog and heard Southern Boobook.

10th November 2024 Girraween National Park

Regent Bowerbird

Leaving O’Reilly’s early we took our time down the mountain and stopped in to see some Yellow-faced Honeyeaters and Striated Pardalote. Once at Girraween National Park we saw Red Wattlebird, White-winged Chough, Silvereyes, Yellow Thornbill, Eastern Grey Kangaroo, Red Necked Wallaby, Swamp Wallaby, White-eared Honeyeater, Spotted Pardalote, Rufous Whistler. Unfortunately, our time was cut short with a very heavy downpour which we had to wait out under a shelter for almost an hour. After an hour the sun was back out and we had half an hour to catch as many birds as we could before driving the long drive back to Warwick.

11th November 2024 Warwick to Bunya Mountains
Another long day of driving today through the countryside and farmlands took us from Warwick to Bunya Mountains via Lake Broadwater Conservation Park. Here we got Grey-crowned Babblers, the always funny characters - Apostlebirds, Spiny-cheeked Honeyeater, Superb Fairywren, Royal Spoonbill, Black Swans, Australian Pelican, Lace Monitor, Eastern Rosella, Nankeen Kestrel, Black-shouldered Kite, Red-winged Parrot, Noisy and Little Friarbirds.

Apostlebird

Pale-headed Rosella

Next, on to Bunya Mountains National Park with impressive views along the way. It was a nice change of scenery from the flats and farmlands back to the mountains and it wasn’t long until the Top-knot Pigeons were back in view in the far-off treetops.

Topknot pigeon

Sulphur-crested Cockatoo

A Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike greeted us at the lookout. The cabins were nestled right by the national park so we were surrounded by busy Satin Bowerbirds, Green Catbirds, King Parrots, Eastern Spinebills and Yellow Robins right on the doorsteps.

Eastern Spinebill

Eastern Water Dragon

We settled in and had some afternoon birding and after dinner headed out for a little bit of spotlighting. Southern Boobooks were heard but not found. We saw a new mammal – Short-eared Brush-tailed Possum as well as Common Ring-tailed Possum. The rain put an end to our night, and it was off to bed for an early bird walk the next morning.

12th November 2024 Bunya Mountains National Park
We all met for the early morning bird walk. One of the main goals today was the elusive Noisy Pitta. Just as we headed out from the log cabins, we spotted a male Paradise Riflebird this time in full adult colouring! A pleasant surprise first up. We were in the clouds all morning giving the forest a magical haze and with the bunya pines all around it felt like stepping back in time when dinosaurs roamed! The 4km Scenic Loop was spectacular with many awestruck faces wandering past small waterfalls and massive bunya pines and stinging trees. Emerald Dove and Olive-backed Oriole were new sightings, and we had great views of perched Top-knot Pigeons and the ever stunning Regent Bowerbird at the lookout as well as Red-browed Finches and Silvereyes. No pitta luck!

After lunch we walked to Paradise Falls and Little Falls, with Black-faced Monarch and many Grey and Rufous Fantails.

Rufous Fantail

As we were coming to the end of our walk, we got a flash of colour fly by! Finally a Noisy Pitta near Paradise Falls! Luckily for us he stood still just long enough for everyone to get a great look. Just in time on the last leg of the walks at Bunya mountains, much to everyone's great delight! We went spotlighting after dinner wandering up the road from the log cabins. Southern Boobooks could be heard but unfortunately, we didn't get to see one. We saw 5 Short-eared Brush-tailed Possums, mostly with young, and a Common Ring tailed Possum. And then I heard it. The quintessential trill of the Sooty Owl! We slowly made our way back up the road towards the sound and there it was, beautifully perched for all to see! A very exciting ending to the Bunya trip!

13th November 2024 Bunya Mtns to Rainbow Beach
Just out of Bunya Mountains National Park we stopped in some drier forest and got a suite of new birds. White-winged Triller, Dusky Woodswallow, White-throated Gerygone, Yellow-rumped Thornbill, Golden-headed Cisticola, Olive-backed Oriole and Double-barred Finch.

After this it was on to breakfast and another great roadside wetland location with Restless Flycatcher, Sacred and Forest Kingfisher, Royal and Yellow-billed Spoonbill, Pied Stilts, Cormorants, Australian Pelican, Whistling Kite and Hardhead. A quick stop in Gympie added Magpie Geese and Black Swans. Once in Rainbow Beach we were greeted by many Rainbow Bee-eaters on the power lines. In the afternoon, we made our way to a known location for Black-breasted Button-quail and it wasn’t long until we could see all the platelets (feeding marks) on the ground indicating high use of the area, and recent too. We walked along the track ever so quietly and at the end we admired the wading birds in the distance including Bar-tailed Godwits, Red-capped, Siberian and Greater Plover, Pacific Golden Plover, Australian Pied Oystercatcher, Whimbrel, Sanderling, Red-necked Stint and Far Eastern Curlew. Also seen were five species of Tern including Caspian, Australian, Little and Greater Crested and Common. It was time to head back, again slowly and quietly.

Then, in the distance, a Black-breasted Button-quail walked across the path! We all slowly went for a closer look with three of us seeing it but unfortunately it made a break for it into the scrub before the rest could see. We would try again the next day!

14th November 2024 Rainbow Beach
The plan for this morning was an early start to try to find Ground Parrots at a known location. Unfortunately, the weather had other plans, and we had to wait an hour for the rain to pass enough to start our morning.

Frilled Lizard

White-breasted Woodswallow

We started at Seary’s Creek to find our first White-cheeked Honeyeater and Little Wattlebird. Then, on to the Ground Parrot spot, which required a little walk down the road as it was unsuitable for the bus. We saw Fan-tailed Cuckoos on the way and more White-cheeked Honeyeaters.

Fan-tailed Cuckoo

Just as we started to near the more open grassy areas, I spotted a small bird coming out on to the track. To my great delight it was indeed a Ground Parrot! It stayed long enough for some to get amazing photos and for all to see. And then another came out a short while later, which many saw fly off in a display of its beautiful plumage.

Ground Parrot

With much excitement we headed back, enjoying Forest Kingfisher and many Rainbow Bee-eaters on the way back. Off to a well-earned very nice breakfast in Rainbow Beach.

After breakfast we went back to the Black-breasted Button-quail site and got Mangrove Honeyeater, Variegated and Red-backed Fairywren, Leaden Flycatcher and Varied Triller.

Variegated Fairywren

Leaden Flycatcher

We went to the Black-breasted Button-quail site again in the afternoon to try our luck again. We noticed many fresh feeding platelets and after a few times back and forth along the path, we got excellent views of a pair feeding along the track!

Black-breasted Button-quail (female)

We also added Fairy Gerygone to our list shortly after.

Fairy Gerygone

After dinner we went to look for Grass Owls, unfortunately no luck but we did see our first Bush Stone-curlew with two very small chicks. All in all, many new birds today! Another amazing day!

15th November 2024 Rainbow Beach to Brisbane
After breakfast it was time to head back to Brisbane via a few wetlands stops. First was Bribie Island, with great views of waders we had already seen but with one major exception – the elusive Beach Stone-curlew! The surrounding vegetation was filled with Blue-faced and Brown Honeyeaters and Little Wattlebirds and new bird for the trip - Mangrove Gerygone in the mangroves as well as Osprey. On to Nudgee beach to complete the mangrove walks which were very quiet in the mid-afternoon heat, but we got some new birds including Striated Heron, Torresian Kingfisher and Grey Plover. On our way out back to our accommodation we finally saw White-bellied Sea-eagle and Brahminy Kite go by to end an amazing trip.
