A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Have always loved Nature, and love looking around where ever I go to see what interesting animals, birds or plants I might find.

Thank you maplemoth :-)
Thanks Neil. Was the biggest one of these I've ever seen from memory
Won't allow me to edit at the moment for some reason?
Thank you Neil for the ID. I will update it. It basically looked the way it is in the photo. The darker pattern may have been iridescent, but the orange stayed the same whatever angle you looked at . I've used the Brisbaneinsects page, but am not always able to find things on it. :-)
Beautiful looking bird
Yes I saw some around the grounds as well Mark that day. I actually thought it had a injury on it's mouth that had healed.
