Here's a relatively easy one...
Cheers Tim Brisbane
an Eastern Yellow Robin?
Peter
Could it be the same species as this (I couldn't id it, because it was sleeping in a tree):
Christina
Yep got it Peter. It is an EYR.
thanks Tim
the pic is small but i could find it quickly
bump, to keep this moving
is it a New Holland Honeyeater?
M-L
no
both the pic and bird are small
A miner / minor / minah / mina / my-nah!
?
- soakes
soakes Olinda, Victoria, Australia
this bird is neither noisy nor common and therefore not a minor by any grammar or spelling
this bird is smaller than a minor miner myna
White - browed scrub wren.
See it! Hear it!
Mid-North Coast NSW
this bird is often found in scrub but not a wren
this bird likes some colour but not white
I am sorting pics and looked at this lovely bottom and thought - 'should I delete that'
instead I posted it
Cute Peter, this has to be a wader?Are there long legsattached to this bird?
(have to go, going to the WTP, talk later)
yes, a wader
yes, long legs in proportion to the body
one of my favourite birds, I have many, many ...... pics of
Oystercatcher???
right colours but wrong bird
on 26 August I got the Pied Oystercatcher and .... (this bird) in pics together
Black-winged Stilt? (I give up, had a look at your old posts,, but nothing posted on 26th of August)
yes, Black-winged stilt or White-headed Stilt as the new international standard suggests
and yes, I haven't sorted those pics yet so no posts
your turn
You are so good at ID that this could be relatively easy because of the colour so I'll post two pictures. At least I hope the pictures are there as I cannot preview them so here goes... .Sue
Golden Whistler bottom? But they don't have pink legs, so that's wrong? Yellow Robins don't either, hmmm
Sorry Araminta, perhaps I should have been more clear... two different birds are represented.
Right with the first so what do you think now of the second? Sue
Hint: it may not come far into Victoria but seen this week in Sydney. Surely someone will know it.
i'm not from Sydney so I will have to wait for hint #2
OK for those further south it likes fruit.
Ummmm, male figbird perhaps?
Well done Timmo. Found this one in Bicentennial Park, Sydney last week but it never came down lower.
Thanks Sue.
OK, well as per the rules of the game, I'll try and find a bottom to post when I get home this evening...
HaHa Tim, what are you talking about? You have to go home to find a bottom? I have one attached to my back.
Hehe, M-L - me too but:
1) I don't have any photos of that one, and
2) I'm ABSOLUTELY certain no-one would want them posted here if I did!
I cannot see that Peter's bird was identified so could it be a Silvereye?
this is the bird back at post #56 or #57
there is colour in both names
but the colour is not the same in either name or feather
it seems that no one has identifed your bird as yet and I have no further suggestions other than that some of my pardalote pictures look like that.

Thanks Peter, i would never have guessed that one from the picture.
