Some of my favourite feathers

Hi guys,

Here are a few images I've been lucky enough to take over the last few years, all here in Kakadu National Park, at various locations.


Australian Pelican


Rainbow Pitta


Little Corellas


Forest Kingfisher -- one of my favourite shots


Rainbow Bee-Eater


Blue-Winged Kookaburra


Brolgas


Black-Necked Stork (female)


Bush Stone-Curlews


Comb-Crested Jacana


Azure Kingfisher


Darter (female)


Emu


Wandering Whistling Ducks


Little Pied Cormorant

Hello anja and welcome to BiBY!
Kakadu is on my list of must see places - your bird photos are wonderful; bush stone curlews, how unusual!

Regards, "Tark" - Olympus 4/3rds colour

Thanks heaps, Tark!
The photo of the curlews was taken in Dec 2007, a couple of days before the gates to Gunlom (Waterfall Creek) were locked for the wet season.
I was the only one staying in the campground that night -- but these young ones weren't too impressed with my presence...

Welcome Anja - Kakadu is certainly a bird-watcher's paradise!
As I have a folio of failed Birds-in-flight photos, I especially like the Pelican!

Welcome to the forum, Anja. What a great first post; those shots are great ! Kakadu would have to be my favourite location for birdwatching. Your Curlew shots remind me of "hunting" them by torchlight with my kids at the Jabiru caravan park. I look forward to seeing many more of your NT shots.

WOW!!!! Welcome aboard anja. I am extreeeemly jealous of your address although I suppose all birds are nice they just vary in design when you live in a different area. I love your forest kingfisher shot especially. Well done.
