There are tooth-billed bowerbirds all over the place at the moment, although they are winding down a bit. You will certainly find them around Lake Eacham. In the late afternoon, they leave their stages to feed on Millaa Millaa vine on the forest edge, although they're a bit more furtive then. A merry (belated) Xmas to you!

They were all very willing to stay put and call as we approached and filmed. Have a great time.

Mark has already asked about the Terns which I was puzzling over. I saw your answer. They seem very small to me, but Terns are not my thing. A Curlew chorus is always impressive. Cheers and Happy Christmas and New Year, and happy and safe camping, and lots of new birds.

You are a crazy girl. Thanks Tony & Mark! Mark, I believe those terns are Common Terns -- they were a bloody battle to ID! Merry Christmas guys!
