Birding guide and tour operator
Doug Herrington offers birdwatching and bird photography through Birdwatching Tropical Australia, working around Cairns, Port Douglas and Queensland’s Wet Tropics. His programs range from half-day outings to private multi-day journeys, including trips to Cape York and Iron Range.
Local birding can explore wetlands, forest edges, mangroves and coastal sites, with routes selected around field conditions and the birds visitors hope to find. Photography outings provide a separate choice for guests whose main interest is working with a camera. Compare the shorter experiences and longer itineraries on BirdWatch, then inquire about the format that fits your visit.
