Birdwatching Tours - Australia
(EST 1995)
Fine Feather Tours is owned and operated by Del and Pat Richards, and is based in Mossman, North Queensland, adjacent to the richest birding area in Australia. Well over half of Australia’s species have been recorded within a distance of 200 kilometres.
Del is Mossman/Daintree
representative for Birds Australia. He gathers records for the Endangered
Gouldian Finch in FNQ.
Your Australian guide, Del Richards, has accumulated over forty years (eight lustrums)experience birding in all states, and is able to locate the vast majority of the local species. We cater for bird watchers from destinations worldwide - some making return visits to locate more species. In recent times with friend Jack Leighton, Del has been associated with technical advice for his double DVD "Rainforest Birds of Australia's Wet Tropics"- a must have item on the list of birders visiting this region.
In ten years of guiding our guest list includes birders from Alaska (US).,
Iceland, Croatia, Hungary, Equador, Qatar, People's Republic of China, Chile and
Botswana.

About The Birding Area - (Slide show above).
Mossman is an easy 1 hour drive north of Cairns International Airport along the very scenic Captain Cook Highway.
The sugar town of Mossman lies in the shadow of the Great Dividing Range and, uniquely, within an hours travel we have 8 distinct habitats including lowland rainforest, mudflats, mangroves, saltmarsh, upland rainforest, wetland, grassland, and the much drier savannah woodland. That's the reason that we chose Mossman as our base, an ideal starting point for serious bird watching.
Immediately to the north is the Daintree River, and close by is Port Douglas for Great Barrier Reef cruises, and accommodation. In the hinterland is Julatten, well known to visiting birders, and to the west, the Mitchell River area is where we locate many inland species.
