Rocky Creek Dam + Lismore Lake

A big week of firsts starting on Tuesday with a Black Necked Stork at Lismore Lake.

Spent Thursday afternoon at Rocky Creek Dam which is the water supply for the Lismore & Ballina local region. I have been able to indentify most to the best of my knowledge but would appreciate any assistance with bird # 2 in the sequence.

Black-Necked Stork  

Unknown?

Grey Shrike-Thrush

Varied Triller

Variegated Fairy Wren

Crimson Rosella

Paradise Riflebird

Sulphur Crested Cockatoo

Great and varied little set there Brian and congratulations on the firsts

The Crimson Rosella shot would be my favourite

Excellent set of shots from your week - that stork is a beauty to get. Fantastic paradise riflebird - was that a new sighting for you as well?

#2 looks like a brown thornbill.

Great stuff Brian63. Recently took images of a Grey Thrush-shrike, so I know how difficult it is with branches and shadows! Love the riflebird. Well done mate!

Thanks also to you & Sue for help with the ID.
