Thanks to all those people who offered suggestions
on bird guides out of Cairns.
I spent the day last Friday with Del Richards
of Finefeather Tours and we covered an area from Port Douglas to Mount
Carbine.
A sensational day with 110 species, the highlights
(for me) being:
Papuan Frogmouth
Red Backed Kingfisher
Macleay's Honeyeater
Pied Monarch
Freckled Duck
Pink Eared Duck
Grey Whistler
In all I managed 26 new birds.
A further highlight of the 4 days away was a small
flock (12-15) Double-Eyed Fig Parrots on Cairns Esplanade yesterday morning -
one landing at eye level some 5 metres from us!
Cheers
Peter
