Great episode Luke, lived in the Territory mid 80s to mid 90s, this brought back some lovely memories !!

Brilliant Kakadu video Luke it was just the job to brighten a minus 6 degree morning in Newcastle, UK. A great piece of work, outstanding video and stills, and of course the landscapes. Many memories of my trip 15 years ago.

[@BubbleMaster245]

This was an amazing video with awesome shots and new information
What type of camera do you use?

[@ntbirdspecialists-lukepate6070]

Ahh cheers - glad you liked it. Im currently using a Canon R3 with 600mm, however I used a Canon 1DXii with 400 with 2x extender to shoot this film.

[@RAJMAN181]

Great video Luke such a diverse range of birds and mammals, what about Love Birds or commonly called " Budgerigar"? What is the lens you are using?

[@ntbirdspecialists-lukepate6070]

Hello and thank you, we don't actually get wild 'Love Birds' in Australia, however Budgerigars are more common a little further south beyond Kakadu National Park and great to see when they get in huge numbers. The lens I was using was a Canon f/2.8 400mm lens.
