Chris,

I spent 3 days at Chambers & am going back for a week next year.  I had Spotted
Catbirds & Victoria's Riflebirds coming to the veranda after bread, as well as
Eastern Whipbirds.  The Riflebirds display in Nov, which is why I am going back.

A pic I had enlarged of a male Riflebird, was described by David Attenborough (I
gave it to him at a recent book signing) as "splendid"!

Chambers is also good for mammals.

Hasties Swamp looked good but we had no time to stay - you need a good lense
or scope.

Kingfisher is meant to be excellent - 3 days pplanned there.  I also recommend
Red Mill House in the Daintree Village & Chris Dahlberg's boat tour - I've done 
it
twice now.  If you are on Ozbirdpics, I will start scanning in soon & posting a 
few
of my humble efforts.

Cheers

Mick...
