No ride reports today but had a great time at a hide-away twitcher's lodge
We were at a bird lovers hide away near Eacham Lake national park ( volcanic crater lake surrounded by rain forest. )
Add lots of species to my life list and a few photos.
A catbird here is very unlike ours tho it does meow
We're still deciding on these - they look like myna's but are not
For some reason the camera has a hard time focusing these Rifle birds which are a bird of paradise species. This fellow is all black with wildly irridescent feathers - and same as last year it messes the camera colour and focus.
The body of the bird is deep deep black - you would never know from the photos.
The highlight was having a wild kookburra feed from my hand. That's a snake killing beak and they are big birds! Was a tad nervous but he was fine. Only one of the four kooka's was brave enough.
clearly this is a favorite stop in feeding spot at dusk -
Jude chickened out and used the cutting board
bit frustrated as the flash got the detail but lost the colour.
Should be a ride report tomorrow or the next day.
Easter break coming and a few trips with GF yet before I leave ..... then back to spring.....I hope
