点评:I felt fortunate to be with an Australian Birding Couple as we had the opportunity to have a tour hosted by Ian mid June 2023. I was able to photo document 87 species, not all of them were lifers but there were enough that I would only see here. I have a world Aves list of 1697 - this trip was special. Of course, my naturalist interests go beyond birds so I had time to add to my other floral and faunal life lists. It was a thrill to go to Kakadu solo and feel comfortable in my surrounds - I've had a long desire to go to this Unesco World Heritage Natural Site and get an understanding/ appreciation for the cultural end of things as well. Our morning breakfast by the river viewing Gouldian Finch is one of my fondest memories. Ian was kind, interested, polite, keen and as expected, working on increasing his ability to provide for his clients in a business venture that he had taken over from a well seasoned former - Ian made us feel comfortable in an environment that many have told me to be wary of. Lucky us as well as he had refurbished the supply trailer and added a new very comfortable van for us to ride in. If and when I am back in the Darwin area I will try to hit the road again with him - I know my wife would love coming along.
翻译:我很幸运能和一对澳大利亚观鸟夫妇在一起,因为我们有机会参加由 Ian 主持的 2023 年 6 月中旬的旅行。我拍摄了 87 个物种的照片,并非所有物种都是终生鸟,但也有足够多的物种我只能看到这里。我有一份 1697 年的世界鸟类名单 - 这次旅行很特别。当然,我的博物学家兴趣不仅仅限于鸟类,所以我有时间添加到我的其他花卉和动物生命清单中。独自去卡卡杜并在周围的环境中感到舒适是一件令人兴奋的事情 - 我一直渴望去这个联合国教科文组织世界遗产自然遗址并了解/欣赏事物的文化结局。我们早上在河边吃早餐,观赏胡锦雀是我最美好的回忆之一。伊恩(Ian)善良、感兴趣、有礼貌、热心,正如预期的那样,他从一位经验丰富的前任手中接管了一家企业,致力于提高为客户提供服务的能力 - 伊恩(Ian)让我们在许多人都告诉过的环境中感到舒适我要警惕。幸运的是,我们和他都翻新了供应拖车,并添加了一辆新的非常舒适的货车供我们乘坐。如果我回到达尔文地区,我会尝试与他再次上路 - 我知道我的妻子会的喜欢一起来。
