Birds

Frankly, the fishing on this Kakadu safari has left a lot to be desired. Hugh and Rich have got a few but until this morning I had not caught a thing. All that ended this morning when I landed the whopper below.....!

But the bird watching has been a different story. We have seen so many new species...perhaps 60 by Hugh's account, including wonders like the rainbow bee eater, brolgas, jabiru, azure kingfisher, sacred kingfisher, jacana, great billed heron, to name a few. Hugh is super keen and really quick to photograph and identify new birds.
