I read an article where someone had seen 90 birds, so I expected Doug to beat that.... and he did. We saw 93 birds. Of these about 80 are birds I have never seen before in the wild including Tawny Frogmouths (4), Papuan Frogmouth, Bustards, various herons, various kingfishers, various parrots etc. When I return, I will definitely take another of his trips. One of the best days in Queensland. Highly recommended for animal lovers. You will need binoculars or a zoom lense.

I only had the time for a halfday with Doug, and we saw 88 species!! This is my third guiding with Doug, and he always puts guest first, no rush to move on, goes for requested species. Absolutely wonderful to visit his special bird hotpsots. Spotless crake in pic

We were so happy to go birding with Doug Herrington. He was working up north and made a special trip just to accomodate us for which we are appreciative. We were able to see over 90 birds in a short period of time. The first 65 were in the first 3-4 hours of the day. All the great reviews about him are true. He’s easy to be around, he knows his Queensland birds and he’s very professional. We wish we were staying longer and could go birding with him again. We’ll just have to come back. Some of the birds we really enjoyed seeing were the Eastern Curlew, Bush Stone Curlew, the Rainbow Bee-eater, the Lovely Fairy Wren, Macleay’s Honeyeater, the Eclectus Parrot, the Rainbow Lorikeet, Sulfur-crested Cuckatoo, the Pale Yellow Robin, the Dusky Honeyeater, the Scarlet Honey-eater, the Red-browed Finch and of course the Kookaburra. We were so close to the Victoria’s Riflebird. He knows exactly where they are. We could hear him clearly. Wish we would’ve looked for him first thing but maybe the next time.
