Sure sign of Winter.

The arrival of Lewin's Honeyeaters into the lowland rainforest of Daintree is a sure sign of Winter. This is not a major migration it is simply a change in altitude to warmer climes.

Reservoir Road, Wonga Beach

Lovely Fairy-wrens.
Consistently calling halfway up Reservoir Road Wonga Beach on the left hand side. Reservoir Road is near the Caltex Servo  but on the other side of the main road about 300 metres toward Mossman.

Sounds of Spring

The Daintree Valley is resonating to the melodious morning song of the Black Butcherbirds this Spring. It is punctuated by the calls of Brush Cuckoos and Little Bronze-cuckoos throughout the day and Bush Stone-curlews through the night.

Cicadabird calling at Wonga Beach

There is a Cicadabird calling from near Marlin Drive and Janbal Street. Also calling early mornings Little Bronze-cuckoo and Brush Cuckoo.

Pacific Baza at Wonga Beach

There is a vocal Pacific Baza near the intersection of Marlin Drive and Oleander Drive Wonga Beach. 
It is likely to be with others and may hang around for a few days.

Enjoy.
