Northern Territory Top End 2016 Bird Gallery

Some of the many bird species that were enjoyed during my trip to the Northern Territory's Top End, Australia, in 2016. "Lifers" for me were rufous owl, gouldian finch, hooded parrot, zitting cisticola, banded fruit-dove, cockatiel and white-breasted whistler. Here's some of the scenery.
