Quest of the CASSOWARY | Cow Bay to Cape Tribulation
Our mission..and we chose to accept it... was to see a Cassowary!!
Join us as we continue our journey further north in FNQ. We have left the mid altitude rainforest of Julatten and headed to the coast. We cross the Daintree River and stay at Cow Bay for 2 nights.
From Cow Bay we head up to Cape Tribulation and stop at all the boardwalks along the way.
Do we finally see a Cassowary??? You'll have to watch & see

    I really enjoyed your video and have subscribed also to keep up with your birding. I am leaving in a month to drive to FNQ and we will be staying at Crater Lakes Rainforest Cottages too, as well as Sweetwater Lodge and O'Reilly's so I have 9 nights all up in these premium birding sites. I do have a couple of questions for you. On the Crater Lakes video I could see you feeding the Victoria's Riflebirds. Was that mealworms that you were feeding them? Were they live or dried? and did you carry them with you from Melbourne? (I also live in Melbourne). Thanks

    • @naturephotographychallenge
      @naturephotographychallenge Před 11 hodinami

      Wow that is going to be a fabulous trip!! I wish we had stayed at Sweetwater Lodge instead of Kingfisher Lodge. Sweetwater looks so much nicer & quieter. You'll have to let me know what it was like after your stay! I'd love to know 😀 When it comes to Crater Lakes & feeding the Riflebirds, the owner provides you with a hamper including ripe bananas, mealworms & dry food for the Pademelons. We are not at all familiar with feeding birds as we usually just hope to see something (that was the first time we'd even seen mealworms!). So it was quite fun as the birds are very tame and they're not afraid to fly right in & get a free meal. I hope you get more sun that we did.... it was super dark & difficult to take photos of the black adult Riflebirds. You'll have so much fun!! Enjoy your trip!! Say hi to the Catbirds for me!! 😀 ~ K

However, I didn't miss out for long, since this year I got the Heron on the Kathrine river, even if it was only brief as it scurried away from the river with a catch. Congratualtions on the Cassowary views, they are a stunner. I have yet to go on the northern side of the Daintree river, so I am a little jealous, however I am sure to get there eventually.

      Well hello there! 😀 I hope these videos are helping to give you guys a bit of an insight to what you may see when you're in FNQ (also a bit of a quick view of your accommodation as I know you're staying at the same locations). Not far off now from getting on that plane to start your big Australian adventure!! We're looking forward to meeting you in October! Happy Travels 😀 ~ K
