These included Australian swiftlet, black butcherbird, bush thick-knee and white-breasted woodswallow. Also one or two which remain to be identified including a whistling duck species.
Star of the show though, without question the fantastic mudskippers in amongst the mangrove roots at low tide. Only about 2" long they're really smart things!
Bush thick-knee
Pied imperial-pigeon, figbird and magpie-lark
White-breasted woodswallow. A bit like a house martin in flight.
Black butcherbird, apparently quite a difficult bird to see, but this one was no problem.
Wow! You beauty!
More pied imperial-pigeons
Port Douglas is on the edge of a mangrove swamp, which is apparently alive with crocodiles, but I've not seen one yet.
