Yesterday we got up ultra-early for the sunrise cruise on Yellow Water at Kakadu and a handy little hint is that if when you buy one cruise you can get another one for just $25! "And would you like fries with that?"
I think they made us an offer we couldn't refuse.
It was different.
The birds seemed more active somehow.
We saw a lot of the same ones, or the same type (not sure if they were exactly the same ones)
We saw some different ones - including brolgas, forest kingfishers...
and we saw heaps of crocs!
Juvenile Nankeen Night Heron -
Egret, not sure if it's a Small, Intermediate or Large (those really are the names)
And then it was time to play Spot the Croc!
The late afternoon light on the lotus lillies was gorgeous.
Can you see him?
Beautiful Pied Heron.
There he is!
A very obliging pair of Sea Eagles.
We saw 2 pairs.
The pandanus is pretty too.
Look! There's one!
Darter drying its wings.
This one was huge!
The biggest one our tour guide had seen.
He was very obliging too - sitting in a nice sunny spot and opening his mouth on cue.
Then the sun set.
