Observer: Sandy Dillard (guides & my wife depending on the trip)

Number of Species: 341

Comments: This is actually based on several trips to Australia. They are in Darwin, Sydney, Jambaroo Mtn area, Victoria, Tasmania, Townsville and Fremantle. Some trips are my going around with friends and others are from people which I met or contacted throught the net and took me around. All in all a very fun time and very nice people. For the Pelagic birds with * please look at the Pelagic page. The most recent trip was my second trip to Townsville where I reused a bird/ eco tour in the area. The guide was Ian Clayton who owns his own little tour company and can be reached at b.b.t@ultra.net.au . I recommend him highly. He is quite personable and very reasonable on rates and he knows his birds and area well which is why I used him again.
