Some Sunshine Coast birds?

Hi,

I'm back again, but this time actually posting from Australia! I have been loving it so far and I have my first few IDs I need confirming. At the  moment I think I've gathered up about 50 life birds!

I have ideas for each, but I don't have my field guide with me so not sure on the exact names. Thank you!

Might be awhile till I can reply.

Juvinile Sea-eagle?:

I wonder if the Golden Whistler is an immature male, it has some yellow on its chest.

I agree with Tim on this. Has a lot of yellow on the vent for a female as well.

2nd Tim on immature golden Whistler (male). One I photographed below.

2nd photo from what I can tell is immature Tawny Grassbird. Tail looks too long for a G.H.Cisticola.

examples below.

Thank you all! Sorry for the late reply.

Now I can go and add Tawny Grassbird to my list.
