Australia | Iron Range, Passcoe River, Mcllwrath Range, Eastern Cape York Peninsula
100 Years ago, The Cape York Peninsula was known only to the indigenous Aboriginal people who have inhabited Austrailia for at least 40,000 years. It is a wilderness area rich and diverse rainforest areas, Rivers, Creeks and Waterfall. This special wild habitat of the Macgillivray is home to diverse fauna and flora that remains largely undisturbed by the intrusion of civilization.
Birds are found singly, in pairs or small groups. Often found soaring high above the forest calling loudly. Wary; foraging groups found in treetops. Mostly active at dawn and dusk traveling to and from roosting areas.
