Day 366 Berry Springs Part 0ne

This area of Berry Springs is the home of the Northern Territory Wilderness Park...sister to the Desert Park in Alice Springs it was full of wonderful things...so it is in 3 parts as we could not choose just 5 photo's in fact it was hard enough to choose 15!!!!Berry Springs is another water way to go swimming in...not as good as Wangi or Bitter Springs though...it is also home to the Northern Territory Wilderness Park. This park is a sister to the Desert Park in Alice Springs...and yet again we were blown away with the things to see and do... above is a Whip Ray, which some people got the opportunity to hand feed.
The vegatation is not bad either..this Grevillia was in full bloom and pretty as a picture.
They also had a Raptors show....this is a Pacific Baza, which we had seen in Katherine Gorge but not this close...
The famous Jabiru, or Black Necked Stork..yeah right, that neck looks more metallic blue..
This owl had a barking competition with Stephen...yep thats right it is the Barking Owl. This park had a raptors show as the one in Desert Park did but after it was over they brought out birds for you to see close up...fabulous!!!!
