| Kakadu's birdlife |
|
Kakadu, in Australia's Northern Territory is set to host the largest gathering of bird watchers and nature lovers for the annual Kakadu Bird Week 2017, with special birding activities, events and a new photographic competition being offered from October 1st to October 7th. Whether it is graceful sea eagles ‘fishing’ on Yellow Water Billabong, the remarkable ‘Jesus Bird’ seemingly walking on water, or local favourites such as the Jabiru and the tiny, but vividly beautiful, Kingfisher birds, Kakadu is Australia’s most spectacular location for lovers of exotic birds. Kakadu Bird Week is the perfect time to discover Kakadu National Park. The festival is being held from 1 – 7 October and while you don’t need to be a ‘twitcher’ (the technical name for a bird watcher) to enjoy the spectacle, you probably will be after a few days in Australia’s largest bird sanctuary.
The region is home to over one third of Australia’s bird species and October is the peak time to see the full diversity of birds, as the wetlands retreat after six months of ‘dry’ and birds flock to the Top End in preparation for the next breeding cycle. A prime vantage point to view Kakadu’s immensely rich and diverse bird life is on Yellow Water Billabong (above), at Cooinda. Yellow Water Cruises and Kakadu Tourism will be offering visitors exceptional opportunities to get close to Kakadu’s bird life during the special week. Cooinda Lodge and Mercure Kakadu Crocodile Hotel are offering special hotel rates during the week. Quote “Kakadu Bird Week” to gain the discounts. |
