BIRD TOURS IN COMFORT
Do you love to watch birds? Do you particularly love to learn about them and understand their lives – by appreciating their habitat, their history, and the other animals that share their world?
We love to take time to watch the birds, and time to enjoy the spirit of a place. Because a bird is not alone – it needs an ecosystem to support it. Watching leads to understanding, and understanding leads to better protection for our birds.
This style of bird watching is comfortable. Early morning and late afternoon walks and drives are still recommended, but are optional; middle of the day is for relaxing over lunch and taking a siesta. We allow time for looking at plants, scenery, other animals, people, culture and history where it is relevant and important. As much as possible we give you options so you can bird your way.

Where (and how) to see Kookaburras & Kingfishers in Australia
Our eyes are part of our brain. You discover this when you try to see Azure Kingfishers. An Azure Kingfisher is tiny. If you held one in your hand they wouldn’t fill your palm. Yet, traveling by boat along the broad Mary River Billabong in Australia’s Northern...
Learning from Nature: Tawny Frogmouth Brood Patches
Someone asked me the other day: “How do Wildlife Guides know so much?” The Australian Bush is our workplace, and learning on the job is continual and infinite. You can never learn everything nature has to teach, but it is tremendous fun to try. During a walk on a...
