FINE FEATHER TOURS HONEY EATER STARLINGS FIG PARROT PAPUAN FROGMOUTH BABY CROCK ON THE DAINTREE RIVER PARADISE KINGFISHER

Fine Feather Tours is owned and operated by Del and Pat Richards, and is based in Mossman, North Queensland, adjacent to the richest birding area in Australia. Well over half of Australia’s species have been recorded within a distance of 200 kilometres.

In the hinterland is Julatten, well known to visiting birders, and to the west, the Mitchell River area is where we locate many inland species.

From tropical lowland areas then beyond the Great Dividing Range to the edge of the outback, this tour is designed for dedicated and amateur ornithologists alike. Those who have restricted time, but wish to observe a wide range of avian fauna.

Regular sightings include Black Necked Stork, Kori Bustard, Galah, Pale Headed Rosella, Osprey, Blue Winged Kookaburra, Fig Parrot, Red Backed Fairy Wren, Tawny Frogmouth, Great Bower Bird, Squatter Pigeon, Scarlet Honeyeater, and Victoria’s Rifle Bird, as well as butterflies and occasional marsupials.
