Black Butcherbird |
After arriving in Darwin and visiting a few favoured old haunts (see last post) we called in on the city's nicely laid out Botanic Gardens. A highlight here was a Black Butcherbird catching a fair-sized dragon in the tree tops and struggling to subdue it, though ultimately prevailing.

Darwin CBD |
We did a bit more touristy stuff around Mindil Beach, Fannie Bay and the CBD Esplanade area. I remain gobsmacked at the huge transition in the city since I lived here, or even since I last visited.

Radjah Shelduck |
Radjah Shelduck is all over the place, even at sea.

Sunset Lee Point |
I've always been fond of Darwin sunsets. We enjoyed this one at Lee Point, just up the road from where we are camping.

I called in on another favourite old haunt - Holmes Jungle, a nice mixture of grassland, savannah and monsoon rainforest.
|
Golden-headed Cisticola |
I saw in the grassland Horsfield's Bushlark, Zitting Cisticola and Golden-headed Cisticola.

Red-tailed Black Cockatoo |
Plenty of Red-tailed Black Cockatoos about, always a joy.

Crimson Finch male |
Lovely also to have plenty of Crimson Finches up close.
