After I went to the wetlands I went for a walk around my local ponds (without the dog). I discoved birds I have not seen there before - yellow-rumped thornbills. A royal spoonbill dropped in and I found out I have another thing to learn - exposure compensation. I really like its textured bill and yellow eyebrows.
Masked woodswallow I think
Dusky moorhen
Red-rumped parrot
Royal spoonbill

You did well birdgirl! that masked woodswallow looks similar to the black faced cuckoo shrike.
Raoul I think you are right. I have pulled out another bird book and the black-faced cuckoo-shrike has a white belly and the masked woodswallow has a grey belly
Excellent shots I hadn't seen the bills so close before.
Nice ones birdgirl, you definately have caught on to cropping to your subject. My fav is #2, a purple breasted swamp hen, I think.
