    Was hoping no-one would ask. Red legs is a Jabiru but I’m not sure what his smaller mate is. Also not sure what the ducks are. Whistling Ducks are common up there, but I don’t think that this is what these are, colour is right,but markings dont look right. It was a phenomenal place & a real unexpected surprise. A timber built bird hide built over the water with a metal mesh floor. A huge variety of birds & nature in action - watched a croc stalking a heron for 30 minutes, before he gave up & came cruising just inches below my feet. Watched Jabirus catching fish, & one struggling to extract & (then kill) a snake from the water weed for close to an hour! (You can see a pic of that in the Comp winners thread ). Was like being in the middle of a David Attenborough doco.
