davidgwhiteDescription
A common bird on the Daintree river , but one of the most amazing fishing birds. This birds can fish from a spot quite far above the water and hang upside stretch their neck out and successfully catch a fish. When first observed no one can believe they can fish from that height. To watch them go totally upside down is absolutely amazing.

Firebeetle more
Come dusk, we were treated to Firebeetles flying around all evening. Surprisingly they were equally happy over the water as on the river bank.
Not many - only 5-6 visible at a time.
