Due to the fact that we will still be camping and birding when this goes online I thought I could share some photos of a well-known marsupial in the southern parts of Australia. We spent two months in Portland, Victoria in late 2009 with Grant’s work and whenever we could we were birding. Could this really be comfortable?

Most of the time when we think of birds, we think of the things that make them birds, and not the things that make them dinosaurs. You’ll hear people tell you that birds are dinosaurs, and that is supposed to blow you away and make you go all gaga about birds and evolution. are convenient secondary uses.

Our recent birding and camping trip along the Duncan Road included some extended exploring at the Behn River, which is 63 kilometres down the Duncan Road from the Victoria Highway in the Northern Territory. So, any birds we saw at the Behn River are in Western Australia! Glossy Ibis. Radjah Shelduck.

Whenever you encounter one bird species near the edge of the track it is worth stopping, because invariably there are several species in the vicinity. As soon as you come close to flowering plants there are birds taking off all around you. Grevillea refracta have been flowering for many weeks and the birds are attracted to them.

It’s when we lost the mammoths, the sabre-tooth cats, the giant ground sloths, the elephant birds, the marsupial lions, and other iconic giants. We’ve lost perhaps 200 birds that we know of since 1500. Australia’s extinct and threatened bird species. A Remembrance of Birds Past: The Lost Bird Project.

Kingfisher Park Birdwatchers Lodge is one of those birding destinations that leaves those about to go trembling with excitement and those merely reading about it green with envy. The camping ground is at the northern end of the Tableland, but is also convenient for the Daintree and Cape Tribulation, another good birding and wildlife area.
