Bird photography at O’Reilly’s, Australia, 2024

by | Aug 16, 2024 | Bird Trips

On my recent trip to Australia for a month, I wanted to squeeze in as many bird photography sessions as possible.

My best friend and his family invited me on a long trip to one of the best places in Australia to take photos of hard to find bird species: O’Reilly’s in south Queensland.

I was there from 28 June – 1 July and managed to see some of my favourite birds ever, including Pacific Emerald Dove, Crimson Rosellas, Albert’s Lyrebird, Green Catbirds, Regent Bowerbirds, Superb Fairywrens and many more.

Check the caption of each picture for the name of the species.

While there, I explored many great places to photograph birds near the O’Reilly’s campgrounds and day usage area. Some must-visit trails include Python Rock and Morans Fall, the Botanical Gardens and the Treetop walk.

Please enjoy some photos.

…and here are some non-bird subjects I also found on my trip, including the beautiful Morans Falls waterfall.
