Notes
I saw a few of these in Cairns in October 2005, but wasn’t able to get any photos. I saw a lot more of them in April 2006, but they still weren’t very easy to photograph. They tend settle for short periods, usually a bit too high for me to get photos, but it’s one of those cases where patience pays off. Eventually one of them will settle lower down, and for long enough for me to get some pics.
From time to time I’ve been able to add more photos on subsequent visits to Cairns, but I still find this a difficult species to photograph.
