Great photo of the cock Red browed finch race minor! Smaller and much more spectacular coloured bird, than the nominate species found down south! Cock birds have the black vent and hens grey.
Thank so much Rob, it really is an amazing place to visit. I would highly recommend Faunagraphic as a tour, they are extremely popular so need to get in quick (I think they still have spots for their Jan 2026 tours). I wouldn’t recommend doing by self. It is really really hard work to find some of the birds and Matt and Jasmine are the best at finding everything up there.
Absolutely brilliant, Roger! Loved watching the updates from you all on this trip and to see this video bring it all together was fantastic. Great production and I look forward to watching more of your videos.
Wow! I truly enjoyed watching your short doco. If you have already visited, I recommend that you visit PNG and West Papua. The birdwatching, landscapes and people are all breathtakingly incredible! Visiting PNG and West Papua will change your life for the better.
What a wonderful video! Absolutely beautiful photography and great narration. Plus I learned that we have a Cuscus species in Australia! Thank you so much for sharing 😊
Thanks Richard. I have tried without the music, the vids just seem too ‘quiet’. Unfortunately I’m restricted with non copyright music. I don’t always get a lot of nature sounds recorded, even in cape York there was a lot of people chatting in the background.
Great video. You got all the summer migrant such as Paradise Kingfisher, Scrub-Robin and Pitta.- I''m jealous. I think you'll find the cuscus is a Southern Common Cuscus (not common or southern in Australia). We saw one around Cook's Hut campground in 2016 and saw a Spotted Cuscus along one of the tracks in 2011.
Thank you. Yes I think you are right about the Cuscus. I couldn’t find much information about them online. Also I am a bird man, mammals I’m not so sure on.
Wow it is nature animals❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks. They really are amazing

Thank you. I was trying to get better shots of them but they didn’t cooperate too well
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it

Wonderful. North QLD has been on my to-go list for a while now. After this video, I think I'll book a tour this year

Superb work and fantastic sightings, a juvenile GTP is something that I haven't seen yet. Will be back !!!
Thank you Andy, we were very lucky but also had great guides to find us all the species
Amazing photography! Thanks for uploading. A version without the music would be appreciated. Your photography and narration is wonderful as it is!

Wow, never seen a flat calm ocean at Iron Range ! Normally sand blasting your legs.
We were there quite early in the morning . Was quite calm most days.
