Birds of Katherine town

We have arrived at Katherine, Northern Territory. These are a few of the birds that greeted us. I particularly enjoyed watching this group of Grey-crowned babblers as they fussed over nesting material.






Black kites seem to be everywhere, apparently constantly on the wing, looking for a potential feed. They seemed to be number up to 20 birds at times if there are "good pickings".




These tiny birds are were easily photographed on arrival at Nitmiluk (Katherine Gorge) National Park.

Peaceful dove

  2. I finally found the name of the bird I had taken a pic of from this very useful blog - Grey-crowned Babbler.
