Happy New Year everybody. We bring in every new year up in the Cape. A great place to be and showcase fauna to all our guests during the wet season.

Looking forward to another bumper year!

Hope to catch some of you on our tours in 2025. We are hoping to add a few new destinations to our itinerary as we continue to grow.

Papuan Pittas here in Cape York are always a great bird for New Years Day!

We haven't had much time for any personal birding in 2024 as we have been pretty busy showing guests all things fauna!

However, we managed to spare some time for 2 x 3 day trips and one of them was to find the elusive and critically endangered Plains-wanderer.

After 2 nights searching we came across some males, a young female and the goal an adult female.

A highlight for 2024! Do you have any fauna highlights this year? A bird? Lizard? Mammal?

Our neighbours whilst in Far North Queensland. A big change from Tasmania but our guests are loving every minute!

How beautiful is the Victoria's Riflebird?

Just finished off a fantastic Tasmanian wildlife tour.

Always great to literally bump into amazing species like this Echidna who provided our guests with some great photo opportunities.

Update from Day 7 and 8 Outback QLD tour.

Left Mt Isa for our new destination Winton.

Pretty dry out here compared to Birdsville. Still got some great birds.

Birds of note include Letter-winged Kite, Opalton Grasswren, Rufus-crowned Emuwren, Spotted Bowerbird, Brolga and Golden-backed Honeyeater.

08/08/2024

Update from last couple of days of our QLD Outback tour. Just past the half way point.

Bit warmer now as we are in Mt Isa.

Lots of things to see. Highlights have included Kalkadoon Grasswren, Spinifexbird, Varied Lorikeets, Painted Finch, Pictorella Mannikin, Long-tailed Finch plus loads more. Leaving Isa in the morning!

Day 4 Update from our Outback QLD tour.

Just a brief video this time (sorry about quality). We had an awesome experience watching a pair of dingos hunting a pair of Brolga. The dingos were stalking them and came rushing at them but the male Brolga stood defiant with threat displays. When the dingoes got too close the Brolga would fly a short distance to keep them at bay.

Other highlights today included Spinifex Pigeons, Banded Whiteface, Crimson Chat, Budgies, Cinnamon Quailthrush and a few Central Bearded Dragons.

Day 3 of our Outback Qld tour. Spent looking for species on the outskirts of the Red sand dunes. Fair bit of traffic around so we dipped on Eyrean Grasswren.

Luckily lots of other great birds such as Budgies, Cockatiels, Flock Bronzewings, Musk Duck, Pink-eared Duck, Inland Dotterel, Cinnamon Quail-thrush, Orange Chats and White-winged Fairywrens to keep us busy.

04/08/2024

Day 2 of our Outback QLD photography tour.

Another hard slog finishing up in Birdsville. Very green out here, wildflowers are blooming.

Lots of nice photo opportunities for guests including Red-capped Robin, Crested Bellbird, Pallid Cuckoo, Splendid Fairy wren, Wedge-tailed Eagle and Chestnut-crowned Babbler.

Will be based in Birdsville the next two nights. Let's see what we can find!

03/08/2024

Day 1 of our scheduled Outback QLD tour done and dusted.

Highlight of the day was seeing Hall's Babblers mating.

Other bird sightings included Pink Cockatoo, White-backed Swallow, 3 species of woodswallow, Red-backed Kingfisher, Crimson Chats and lots of Crested Bellbirds.

An American visitor to Brisbane!

Recently and still present, a rare bird from the USA is visiting us and has been hanging out on the Sandgate foreshore just north of Brisbane. Like most of our shorebirds, they spend time feeding a roosting at various sites depending on tide levels.

This is the Hudsonian Godwit.

Lots of excited birders have gone to view this bird and trying to pick it out of a group of Bar-tailed Godwits is proving difficult, unless you have a good pair of binoculars or a spotting scope.

Even when you differentiate it from its similarly looking friends, off-leash dogs often flush the birds (the birds are hanging out in a no off-leash dog area but owners tend not to care).

We did visit a few times but more often than not off leash dogs, general public with no concern for the birds or more natural deterrents such as coastal raptor species would flush the birds away from the immediate area.

We got lucky last weekend when the shoreline was vacated by people, dogs and other birders and had time to apply our skills and photograph this stunning species.

This is the first record of the species for Queensland and represents just a handful of sightings in Australia over the past few decades. Let's hope this individual enjoys its stay a little longer.
