"....... Imagine. A wilderness remote and pristine. Populated more by a profusion of wildlife than humanity. Surrounded by nearly three hundred species of birds.Welcome to NT Bird Specialists!"
On a visit to the Top End, a tourist or birdwatcher has the opportunity to see vast quantities of wetland and grassland bird life. We also cater to the "professional birdo" wanting to spot rare birds.
The magnificent Top End of the Northern Territory,
- from the coastal mangrove swamps of Darwin
- to the woodland bamboo forests and wetlands of the mighty Mary River catchment,
- to the wetlands and escarpments of Kakadu National Park,
- to the woodlands and savannahs of the Pine Creek and Katherine areas
- and back to the Litchfield National Park
is home to nearly three hundred species of birds, and with a spectacular and pristine biodiversity, a few hours or a few days in the company of our knowledgeable guides is guaranteed to produce the experience of a life time.
Meandering over 300 kilometers into the heartland of Kakadu, and with a catchment of over eight thousand square kilometers, the Mary River has a permanent human population of less than thirty who call its bank’s home.
It is a true wilderness, beloved of fisher folk, bird watchers, and those who love the spectacular raw beauty of this great natural system.
Host to an amazing amount of wildlife: birds of prey, a profusion of waterfowl, wallabies, water buffalo, dingos, lizards, snakes, both Saltwater and Johnson River species of crocodile, not to mention enough species of fish to fill a scientific volume, it is rare to find wildlife so quiet and approachable.
And its only a couple of hours from our capital city, Darwin! Bush Tucker man Les Hiddons once claimed that the Mary River region in many ways surpasses that of Kakadu for both wildlife and scenery.
Although the Mary River areas are favourites of ours for the diversity of birds and ease of traveling, the whole of the Nature’s Way triangle has loads of traditional and spectacular birding sights that we are happy to share with you on tour.
