Came home to find this poor little thing had hit a window. Is it a young blackbird? We saw the wader two days running in the same spot on the edge of the water at Narooma. I can only think a Grey-tailed Tattler, but I'm not good on waders. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
I think that you may be correxct on both IDs. Definitely a Tattler and by look of eyebrow and likelihood probably Grey-tailed.
The first bird appears to have the right colouring and patterning in feathers, bill and legs for young Blackbird. However, I do not see many of them so someone else might need to confirm. I gather from your comment that it seemed about the right size.
Hope that is of some help

yes, blackbird.
Thank you both for your help in these identifications.
