As always happy to be wrong, just trying to learn

1. Thornbill, ?Buff Rumped

2. No idea colouring looks a bit like female flycatcher - leaden or sartin

3. Grey Fantail, with eyebrows and white on chest, with a "grumpy look"

4. Not much to go on, ? Yellow Rumped Thornbill or Eastern Yellow Robin?

I would wait for someone else who knows more than me though to confirm.

3. Grey Fantail

4. Possibly yellow robin, possibly something else, but not yellow-rumped thornbill

Thank you both, I know they are terrible photos so much appreciated.  I had thought maybe a Monarch for number 2, but it didn't really fit..

Cool have learnt some more and getting better. We don't have any of these, so I am only going by guides for ID. Thanks

That's great thank you.  I admire the knowledge that lets anyone identify from these photos.  The rufous fantail didn't look much like this picture when i actually saw it.
