Birds around Gheerulla

Hopefully things are getting back to normal; where has the year gone, nearly half way through 2017!

Gheerulla is an area near Kenilworth in the Sunshine Coast hinterland.
I have been trying to get a decent photo of the Rufous Fantail for many years, and at long last got one. The Rufous Fantail is not an easy bird to get photos of. They don't stay still for very long.
The Fan-tailed Cuckoo is a resident, while the Rose Robin has only recently arrived from the highlands and Southern regions.

Glastonbury Creek Take Two

No luck on having the Rufous Fantail showing itself on this visit, but did manage the Fairy Gerygone which I did not  get a photo of while on the camp. 

Fairy Gerygone (Male)(Gerygone palpebrosa)

For some reason this sign is at all the grids on the road into the Glastonbury Creek Camping Area.

 Some of the scenery heading to the camping area.

Large-billed Scrubwren (Sericornis magnirostris)

Little Shrike-thrush (Colluricincla megarhyncha)

While the Large-billed Scrubwren looks to be gathering nesting material, the Little Shrike-thrush looks to be in a bit of a tangle, and the Rose Robin looks cute standing there.

Glastonbury Creek Camping Area.

Glastonbury Creek camping area is an area we have not been to for a long time, so we decided it was time to go and have a camp there to see what was around before it got to cold to camp. These are some of the birds and habitat around the camp ground. Will post more next time.
