There is more to Mullen's Picnic Area and Cooloola Foreshores than just Waders if one takes the time to look around the area. Here are some of the Bush Birds to be seen.

Love your - what they look like to me - exotic birds. I'm especially drawn to the Rainbow Bee-eater.
Great photos of beautiful birds. I constantly remind myself of how lucky I am to be so close to that area!
Great collection of birds. All new to me! I love the Bee-eater, it is a beauty! Great shots!
Great series!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Great shots, well done! Perfect post for WBW!
It was wonderful to take a look at some of your bush birds.
Enjoyed comparing your dove to ours. I like this feather pattern.
My favorite of your shots is the rainbow bee-eater - pretty bird, lovely shot!
Good set of pics, the dove is outstanding, the plumage is so beautiful
All the best Gordon.
Very lovely birds.
See what you mean Neil. It looks a likely spot for birding and I really like that unusual looking dove.
That leaden flycatcher...what glorious colors!! I'm sure we don't have them here, in USA. Wishing we did tho.
Love your collection of inland birds, The rainbow bee-eater is one of my favourites.

I love that name. Rainbow Bee-eater.
Beautiful pictures of the different species of birds.
Much of it are not in the Netherlands.

Oh, lovely! The rainbow bee-eater reminds me of our hummingbirds!
HI Neill great to see all these birds as I have seen them all when I was in Australia. Last time I was able to see Bee Eaters copulating and got it on video. By the way, thanks for your comments on my post. my reply are disappearing from blogger and I hope it will fix itself. I appreciate your visits. Margaret

Lovely images and the Flycatcher is amazing!
pretty nice wild bird life if you ask me. I would be happy for each of them. :)
;( my comment got lost in cyberspace.
Well, it is an amazing set of birds you collected. :)
Loved all your shots, but that bee-eater is very striking, and you captured the iridescence of the flycatcher. Thank you for stopping by my blog while I was away in Arizona for a couple of weeks.
