We’ve just begun a trip around the Cairns region…we’ll be reporting on the activities, birds and places to see birds and stay in the area. This was a nice added bonus on arrival, as we visited the botanic gardens and had a Little Kingfisher on the freshwater lake. Time to try out the Swarovski digi-scoping set up and a new Canon 550D digital SLR and video camera.

Watched Cassowary down to a couple of feet today – I will see if I can get that video online tomorrow. A truly amazing if slightly nervy experience, as she took an interest in the end of my lens and paced slowly towards me as I sat on the verandah at at Cassowary House. Far more than I imagined and quite regular occurrence I am told.
Time for bed now…Sooty Owl calling outside.
All the best birding,
Simon.
