This stunning little bird was flitting around the sand dunes at Coolum Beach. I have always wanted to see one up close and this was no disappointment.

Rose crowned fruit Dove
This beautiful bird is a native of the Queensland rainforest and is surely the most beautiful creature I have set eyes on in a long while. This bird was in a zoo situation so I was able to get close and spend a long time just watching it. First glance absolutely took my breath away .
