Birding around CAIRNS | Kuranda to Fitzroy Island

[@flyingparrotphotography]

Those turtles on the rolling log made me giggle, another enjoyable video 😊🦜

[@naturephotographychallenge]

They were so funny to watch! Though I think that if I was a turtle living in FNQ, I'd learn to climb a tree! haha!!

Congratulations guys in making that milestone of what is now 1K+. Keep them coming and don't change! Just be 'you' :)

[@naturephotographychallenge]

Thanks! It's been a fun journey 😊

Brought back happy memories of visiting Cairns in 1987! (I'm in the UK.) Some lovely photos.

[@naturephotographychallenge]

Sorry about the late reply!! Just found your message. That's so wonderful that our video brought back some happy memories! It's a fabulous part of Australia with lots of interesting things to see!

Thank you! 😀 Our next series is our trip to WA which should be lots of fun!!

[@RogersBirdingHotspots]

Thoroughly enjoyed your Qld videos. It is amazing how different the scenery and wildlife is to our southern states. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.

[@naturephotographychallenge]

I love how different our country is from one end to the other! Never boring! 😀

[@terryroth2855]

Always enjoy your videos. Always fun and entertaining. The architecture, in this location, seemed to be pretty darn colorful. To bad this adventure had to come to a close. Thanks for taking us along.👍👍

[@naturephotographychallenge]

It was, indeed, a very fun trip away... but never fear there is another series next! Our trip to Western Australia & that should be a really good one! (hopefully!!) 😀 Stay tuned! ~ K

[@jarraddove]

Moved to cassowary coast area from Melbourne and as an avid birder its truly spectacular here. Love your videos.

[@naturephotographychallenge]

Gosh you're lucky to live up there!! Wonderful area and a coast I would love to get back up to. We stayed in Mission Beach decades ago but I'd love to get back there again one day! 😀 ~ K

[@CowboyJojosAdventures]

You captured some amazing birds up there in the tropics. Those turtles were a great find and the the water lilies 🌸 Beautiful tropical forests. The waterfall, wow 🤩 It’s been a while since I was up at Kuranda. Those Sun Birds are gorgeous and we saw some on Magnetic Island. They are very inquisitive. 🏝️ Looks like you almost had the boat trip to yourself. Those Freshies, l will keep my distance 😊 Glad you got to do some snorkelling on the island. Loved coming along with you and I’m already missing the warmth of Queensland ❤❤❤

[@naturephotographychallenge]

It really was a fun trip and we saw so much! Qld is such a big state with so many diverse areas from tropics to dry heat. Really interesting. I saw you were up in Magnetic Island!! Lovely spot! And you saw Rock Wallabies!!! Lucky you! 😀 ~ K

[@CowboyJojosAdventures]

@@naturephotographychallenge Feeding the Wallabies was an absolute highlight Karen.

[@naturephotographychallenge]

@@CowboyJojosAdventures it looked like you were having a wonderful time. When we saw them at Granite Gorge it was the middle of the day & they had already eaten too much so they ignored us completely 🤣

[@CowboyJojosAdventures]

@@naturephotographychallenge Well on Magnetic Island, you will certainly get the opportunity to feed them they are hungry critters

[@adventurewithbernie]

And climbing...congratulations! Excellent video and well done. It refreshed many memories, but the turtles were hilarious.

[@naturephotographychallenge]

The turtles were really funny! They did steal the show! 😀... but if I was a turtle living in FNQ, I'd probably learn to climb a tree! 🤣

[@adventurewithbernie]

@@naturephotographychallenge 😄 Yeah, fair call!

Hi Guys, Loving your channel. Saw you a few weeks ago at Melbourne airport. I was flying back to Brissie and you may have been coming back from this trip. I would have needed to have run after you to say "Hi" which would have been weird LOL. Keep up the amazing content.

[@naturephotographychallenge]

Oh wow!! That's really amazing that you saw us at the airport!! We would have loved to have met you! 😀 If it was a few weeks ago, we had just flown back from WA (that's a whole other series that is next on the list!) ~ K

[@oddlysane6705]

@@naturephotographychallenge Awesome, can't wait to see what you have in store for us 🙂

[@saraht2395]

Sorry guys but you can’t leave tropical Queensland without asking us first .. we are going to require another 3 months atleast of footage 😂 So get those one way flight tickets and back to cairns 😊

[@naturephotographychallenge]

😂 LOL!! I don't think we could handle it! haha!! But don't fret.... how about a trip around SW Western Australia?? Beautiful birds, cute fluffy animals , stunning flowers... and baby WHALES!! 😊 ~ K

[@saraht2395]

@@naturephotographychallenge great we live up that way, we look forward to seeing what you find here. You’ll be spoilt with a lot of beautiful birds… also if you make it up Perth head to Rottnest Island for Quokkas, Osprey, White Fronted Chats, Stilts, Oyster Catchers, Avocets and more!

[@naturephotographychallenge]

@@saraht2395 we’ve already been & gone 😁 it was GREAT!!!

[@saraht2395]

@@naturephotographychallenge Did you make a video for Rottnest at all ?

[@naturephotographychallenge]

@@saraht2395 Rottnest will be included but not a whole video as I only went there by myself for a few hours while Nimal was at a conference in Perth. I'm so glad I went! I've been before (many years ago) but it's such a pretty place (once you get away from all the people!!). The Quokkas are so cute but I did feel uncomfortable that they were hanging around the cafes. I had to stop one quokka from eating a plastic bag! No-one else seemed to care 🤥 as they were too busy trying to take selfies while drinking coffee in throwaway cups ~ K
