Wildlife in Nerang, Gold Coast, Australia

Wildlife in Nerang, Gold Coast, Australia A place for posting photos of wildlife that visited us daily where we lived on the Gold Coast. to promote the rich collection of wildlife in our area.

Since moving to Nerang in the Hinterland on the Gold Coast in Queensland Australia in 2003, my wife and I have been amazed by the amount of wildlife that we have on an almost daily basis. In 2007, I had a major heart attack which left me with ongoing health issues and prevented me from returning to work. As I recovered I began to assist my wife in her work as a Wild Care volunteer rescuing, rehabbing, releasing, rehoming and even adopting some of the birds that couldn't released or rehomed. Around the same time I rediscovered an old hobby from my high school days, photography, and became an avid photographer of some of our visitors and wildlife elsewhere on the coast where we live. On this page I will be posting photos of some of the birdlife and other wildlife I have taken in our front yard and elsewhere on the Gold Coast and will also be highlighting how some of these photos are being used in a range of items such as T-shirts, caps, mugs, wall clocks, playing cards, cheese boards, throw pillows etc. These items can be viewed at a dedicated site using the following link:

Prints and other items based on my photos are now also available using this link: http://wildlife-in-oz.artistwebsites.com/

There is no doubt in my mind that this part of the world is a goldmine for bird watchers and wildlife photographers as you will see from photos on this page and hopefully, this page will encourage people from other parts of Australia and overseas to come and visit this part of Queensland. https://www.flickr.com/photos/paradisephotos/albums/72157659917363575

Take Photos - Make Memories!
Remembering Kugelof, our almost resident pheasant coucal who would visit us every day and sometimes came with a partner.

Was a busy morning with kugelof, our almost resident pheasant coucal turning up for a visit. His plumage around the head, neck and chest is still straw like in colour but that will soon start changing to a darker brown, black colour as breeding season approaches. He was a regular visitor since just before Xmas, 2014 - Aug 14, 2016.
