May 2024 (Part 1)

In Darwin - May was busy, so it comes in two parts.  Des spent most days helping Kass at her clinic.


Two of about 6 ducklings on Sanctuary Lakes - one of our favourite dog walks


Put the drone up a few times while fishing - this is on Elizabeth River - Des says 'no crocs thank goodness'.

Here is Elizabeth River where it meets Darwin Harbour

A Great-billed Heron stalking the flats 


A pair of Stone Curlews at Marlow Lagoon (another favourite dog walk)

Collared Sparrowhawk on the Durack Golf Course.
Our apartment was over the road from a part of the course, and the dogs were walked alongside the fairway

Day trip to Hardies Lagoon with the boat

Lovely calm sunny day, but no fish (and no crocs)

This juvenile Buff-banded Rail got inside our apartment and did not appreciate being rescued

Male Figbird - There were large numbers around this visit


The wetlands were awash - Corroboree Billabong waterlilies


White-breasted Sea Eagle watching for a feed

Drone photo showing some of the extent of the wet.
With so much water spread out, the crocodiles were also spread out closer to the edges


Boat from the air

More of Corroboree and the wetlands

And again


And again

White-breasted Woodswallows loved a cuddle roost - again, large numbers around

Lee Point sunrise - another favourite dog walk

Grey-crowned Babbler - a large family lived on the Durack Golf Course
