Cassawaries are getting very rare. They are too often the victims of cars and end up as large roadkill. We had given up hope of seeing one. It was getting dark – hence these shots are not as bright and sharp as they could have been. Then this family of gorgeous psychedelic birds walked right out into the road in front of us! Amazing.

This ibis were flocking to roost at the top of some trees in Cairns.

These swallows were getting a free ride on the ferry across to Daintree park.
