- This is a production that up until now, I have never published. It is part 1 of 2, covering the Rainforests of Far North Queensland.
Due to it's age, the editing is a little rough compared to current standards and the audio is basic but I hope this does not detract from the viewers experience.
I have visited this region several times and it is always high on the list when it comes to bird densities and numbers of species.
From the giant Cassowary to the diminutive Fig-parrots, the forests are home to a stunning range of species. Many of the birds are limited to a specific altitude, eg, Low ( down to sea level ) or some can only be observed in higher altitude forests.
Your comments are always welcome. as it supports my channel.

Just lovely. Thank you.
Thankyou Elspeth !
Brought back some great memories of my trip to FNQ in 2021. Such great birding up there, will definitely have to go back.
Yes, it is one of the very best destinations for birds in Australia, both in terms of density and species.
Thanks for sharing, Tim. I am so inspired by this. In the process of planning a trip for September 2024 researching all the sites and associated species. Field guides are good, but seeing birds in action is by far the best way to familiarise myself with the species. Your Films are by far the best I have watched. I can't wait to visit your country, many thanks from England.
I appreciate your kind words. I agree, to see a bird move and understand the 'jiz' is so valuable. Birding in Queensland is full of special moments. You will have a blast.
Incredible collection, Tim! So many species and behaviours I’ve not seen before. Love your work
Many thanks Ricky. It's an old production now but still nice to remember not only the Birds but the beautiful environments.
So many beautiful birds, but that Torresian Imperial Pigeon is worthy of worship! Thank you, Tim. This was great. :-)
Thanks so much Jenny, yes the TIP's are very regal. Far North Queensland has much to offer.
Brilliant Tim. I'm about to plan another trip up north, your videos are inspiring. 💯😊
Thanks Jan. You will have a great time. The Gulf has so much to offer.
Awesome Tim, Thanks 😋
Welcome as always.
Great video, as always! And this orange-footed scrubfowl has an outstanding gyroscope!
Yes they do. Definitely their claim to fame. Glad you enjoyed.
Thankyou for sharing.... I have so many birds in my backyard in the Bush . I hear them and can’t see them sometimes .. and don’t know what they are . 🇦🇺🙏💜
You are so welcome. Good luck with identifying them. It's a lot of fun.
This was most enjoyable mate, going to share it!
Awesome, thank you! Glad you enjoyed the trip Matt.
Superb.
Thanks a lot for your kind words.
A beautiful video, thanks. I've passed the URL on to friends and family. You write that due to the age, the audio is basic, sounds great to me but you are the expert. How many years ago did you shoot this?
Thanks so much, it was filmed 8 years ago.
Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing 😊
You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed.
👍💚🇵🇹
Really enjoying your videos . Do you sit still camouflaged and wait for the birds to come to you after finding the right spot or do you wander through the forest. I have been to many spots up northern Qld from the tip of Cape York to the Atherton Tablelands and always interested in other photographers techniques.
Many thanks, I have also traveled extensively through this great continent. Most of the birds on this particular film were stalked but a couple, I did built hides in predictable environments ie near water. For rarer and more difficult species, I do spend some time working out their movements and position myself accordingly.
