Now there are two left which I have to look at bit closer at. Especially at the bbj (it's definitely not a little one

).

BUT: Absolutely awesome bird sightings!!! Have seen some of them as well but you really good some extras which I wouldn't
have said no to.

Thanks for sharing!

Ozzies call it stone-curlew... bush stone curlew in this case. $\O$

Little wattlebird, I'd say.

This one was really tricky... Thought juvenile grey butcherbird at first but no matter how much I looked at it,
it didn't really work. Your bird is too brownish for that and the pattern on the front goes all the way down
to the belly. Different in the butcherbird and also the pattern is different anyways.

But at long last I realized that your bird actually got a light spot at the lower head / neck / upper should,
which led me to the Western magpie. And sure enough I found a similar photo on google. So, there you go.
