Great-billed Heron et al

["Alan Gillanders" <>]

G'day,
On Saturday morning I had my best ever and longest views of a Great-billed 
Heron. For some that might be a glimpse but I grew up with these birds and 
spent many hours poking around mangroves, hunting, fishing and gathering. 

This was with Murray Hunt, the Daintree Boatman. He has a bird which is quite 
used to his boat and allowed close and prolonged inspection. It was wonderful 
to see and hear him make the deep guttural call, although he did not really let 
rip with it. 

Papuan Frogmouth and four kingfishers too.

A good morning on Mount Lewis also on the Sunday.

Regards,
Alan
