We had a fantastic holiday in the Top End recently and there are so many wonderful birds there. Here are some of the best I came up with.
The trip gave me a good opportunity to get to grips with my new 100-400mm zoom, but the results were a bit mixed. I struggled to get the exposure right sometimes, so please forgive the ones that are too dark. And do please let me know if I've got any identifications wrong.
Broad-billed Flycatcher
Little Bronze-Cuckoo
Yellow Oriole
Rose-crowned Fruit Dove
Varied Triller
Comb-crested Jacana and baby
Black Kite(?)
White-winged Triller
Bar-breasted Honeyeater
Shining Flycatcher
Collared Kingfisher(?) and lunch
Crimson Finch
Golden-headed Cisticola
Sandstone Shrike-Thrush (a poor shot, but it was a long way off)
Wow!!! These are bril, well done :)
From the stunning Yarra Vally Mountains!
This set is a ripper, too. My fave would have to be thr Fruit Dove. It's superb.

So many great photos! but to see one of my favourite bird the crimson finch makes me little envious,no im dead set JEALOUS I have to start nagging the wife again about a trip to the top end !
Those shots are great and amazing range. so many i haven't seen before. Your Kite could be a Whistling Kite but don't know for sure.
Cheers, Owen.
