A must-bird destination on an NT Bird Specialists itinerary is the World Heritage Kakadu National Park. Kakadu is home to over one third of Australia’s bird species and it is a hotspot for endemic plant and animal life. Endemic birds of Kakadu include Black-banded Fruit-dove, White-lined Honey Eater and White-throated Grasswren. Kakadu is also famous for 65,000 year-old living aboriginal cultures and ancient rock art!
Birdwatch around Darwin, Fogg Dam, Mary River and Pine Creek on shorter tours and venture to more isolated areas such as Katherine, Victoria River, Timber Creek, Kununurra and Lake Argyle for some Kimberley birding. Alice Springs and Mount Isa in Outback Queensland are fantastic Australian outback birdwatching locations with Luke Paterson.

We show you where to find Gouldian Finch, Purple-crowned Fairywren, northern Crested Shrike-tit, Yellow Chat, Black Grasswren and Button Quail to name a few regional specialties.
