I've recently seen each of these birds and cannot find out what they are. Hoping that some here might be able to help please. Thank you.
Seen from my kitchen window so couldn't get a good close up. Thought at first it was a Bassian Thrush but when it moved closer I could see it didn't have the markings on its breast. It also kept its tail up most of the time. Selby, Victoria.
This duck is living at Birdsland Reserve, Belgrave Heights. I believe it might be a pet that found a new home at the reserve. It's much larger than the other ducks there.
This one was taking at Lysterfield Park last month. Light was low so I couldn't get a good shutter speed or a sharp picture. Small bird. Similar colouring to a grey fantail but doesn't have the showy tail and seems to be fatter.
Hi Kathie, bird No2 should end up in a cooking pot
, I think it's an escaped domestic , non native duck. No3 is a female Golden Whistler. No1 looks a lot like a female Blackbird, but not sure on that one, the legs look a bit too high?

#1 looks very much the bird I posted on 1/4 seeking confirmation as Common Blackbird

My thoughts exactly, M-L.

Thanks everyone. I've been so busy over the past few weeks, I've not been able to spend much time here. I appreciate you coming back with your thoughts.
