The day was hot, but the birds were undeterred.
A plucky group of birders attended a great introduction to the art of twitching. We got quite a good show from the complex of river, rainforest and grassland at the heart of radjiir Island. Thanks to our guides Denis Walls, Mikey Kudo, Malcolm, and Brett Armstrong for a great outing.
