The Green Tree Snake, found across northern and eastern Australia, it’s a common sight in the rainforests of Far North Queensland, especially along waterways where it hunts frogs and small fish. I photographed this one stretched over a branch above the Daintree River, blending in so well it looked like part of the canopy. Despite their speed, they’re harmless and curious. A classic FNQ encounter with one of the rainforest’s most understated specialists.

The Yellow‑billed Spoonbill with that unmistakable spoon‑shaped bill built for sweeping through shallow water. Found across much of Australia, it favours wetlands, floodplains, and muddy edges where it can sift for small fish, crustaceans, and aquatic insects. Despite the serious look, it’s a surprisingly methodical feeder, rhythmically sweeping its bill side‑to‑side like it’s painting the water. A striking wetland specialist with a bill that does all the talking. These are some of my favourites to find in the early morning feeding in the estuary right at the perfect tide.

The Black Kite with a wingspan reaching around 1.2 m, built for long, effortless soaring. Found across most of Australia, Africa, Asia, and Europe, it spends its days riding thermals with that easy confidence only a bird that’s mastered the sky can pull off. Highly opportunistic and famously bold, Black Kites will sn**ch food mid‑air, raid campsites, and even use fire to flush prey from hiding. They’re also one of the most abundant raptor species in the world.

The Spectacled Flying Fox is one of Australia’s larger megabats, with a wingspan reaching around 1.2 m and a body length of roughly 25–30 cm. Its range is centred on the rainforests of Far North Queensland, where it roosts in large colonies and plays a major role in pollinating and dispersing native rainforest plants. This species is currently listed as endangered, with population declines driven by habitat loss, extreme heat events, and human pressures.

The Eastern Yellow Robin is a small, compact forest bird, usually around 15–16 cm long with a bright yellow belly and soft grey upperparts. Its range covers eastern and southeastern Australia, where it prefers woodland and forest edges and often hunts by perching low and dropping to the ground for prey. Unlike many robins, it frequently nests surprisingly low, sometimes just a meter or two above the ground, making it easier to spot during breeding season. A calm, steady presence in the understory.

The Boyd’s Forest Dragon is a mid‑sized rainforest lizard, usually reaching around 20–25 cm in body length, with the tail extending it to roughly 45 cm overall. It’s found in the wet tropics of Far North Queensland, where it spends most of its life perched on tree trunks in dense rainforest. Unlike many other dragons, it doesn’t bask in direct sunlight, its body temperature stays regulated by the cool, shaded forest.

The Victoria’s Riflebird is one of Australia’s true Birds of Paradise, but it’s the males that get all the attention with their glossy black plumage and elaborate courtship displays. The females, though, are just as fascinating in their own way, subtle, beautifully patterned, and incredibly important in choosing which males’ displays are good enough.

The Rainbow Bee‑eater is one of Australia’s most striking birds; a fast, agile insect hunter with vivid greens, blues, and golds that stand out even at a distance. They’re specialists at catching bees and other flying insects mid‑air, often returning to a perch to prepare their prey.

The striped possum was a complete surprise for me, I didn’t even know these little animals existed until I arrived in the Daintree Rainforest. They’re incredibly hard to find, usually tucked away high in the canopy and active mostly at night, so finally spotting one felt like a real win.
When we learned about them my wife fell in love. So we had to find them, I happened upon one when it dropped whatever it was eating right on me, and using the thermal imaging we learned the hollow it was using was also nearby.

Found only in the rocky ranges of northeastern Queensland, the Mareeba Rock‑wallaby is one of Australia’s most specialised macropods. This near‑threatened species lives among granite outcrops, boulder fields, and steep escarpments, using its incredible agility and textured foot pads to grip rock surfaces with ease. Watching them jump up near vertical rock faces is incredible.
