Oxley Creek Common.

I know it's been done a few times on here but this was my first visit and what top spot it is.

There's a good brochure about the area here.

A few firsts for me. Pretty sure this is a Rufous Whistler?

Spangled Drongo.

Plenty of Double-Barred Finches about at the moment.

 Collecting Spiders webs for nesting material.

 A Common Starling.

A striped Honeyeaters nest.

I reckon first is a Grey Shrike-Thrush

Last is a Magpie-Lark.

I didn't even think of a Magpie Lark and now that I've just googled images of their nests, I'd say you are right.

I'm happy with Grey Shrike Thrush that's another new bird for me. I missed another first on Sunday, it was just too quick in amongst all the branches but pretty sure it was a Black-faced Monarch. I can't find anything else similar.
