Among those habitats there are several extensive estuaries with their associated mangrove systems, there are also several long beaches backed by sand dunes and the littoral habitats behind them, these may be heathland, wetlands or paper bark swamps, further inland again we have a range of woodlands merging into wet and dry sclerophyll forests, because we have this wide range of diverse habitats we have a great many bird species, especially in such a relatively small geographical area. In this section I will be posting the photographs I have taken of these birds, I don't claim to be a great photographer so the quality of the images will range from very ordinary to quite good, however they are all recognisable and may be a useful resource for residents of the Capricorn Coast and visitors who would like to identify some of the many birds they will come across.
Many of these photos were taken with a Canon S3 IS which is a remarkable little camera for what it cost, however I have upgraded to an EOS 1000D which has greatly improved my results.

The link below will take you to an alphabetical list of local birds with thumbnails which have links to large photographs of those birds, this should make it easier for you to make a positive identification. At present I have nearly 80 species but there are many more on the Capricorn Coast and in due course I will be adding these to this list.
