Hi all
Just got back from the Capertee Valley. These two birds are driving me nuts!
There are two photos of each.
The first one is poor quality - bird flying away - good luck with that one.
The second one shows two birds perched in the tree - not sure what these are.
Cheers
Dave
Sorry, I have no idea about the first two, it is a raptor, if I had to guess maybe a Nankeen Kestrel or a Falcon?? Number three and four are some kind of finch or sparrow, if you zoom in on the 3rd pic you can see the lower bird has a finch beak

First I think is a Raptor. Not a kestral though.
I agree with some finch/sparrow for the second.
Could you crop the images, and add them back, especially of pic 1 and the bottom finch of pic 3

Hi
Thanks for having a go, and thanks for the suggestion HelloBirdy
I don't know if this is any better, but here are the cropped images - the quality has deteriorated unfortunately.

Light morph Brown Falcon isn't a bad guess for the first one. I did see two others in the Valley in the two days I was there.

i wonder if the finch is a juv nutmeg mannikin or chestnut-breasted-mannikin
Is it possible they could be juvenille Diamond Firetails?
I saw a bunch of adults in the valley...
Dave, Sydney.
maybe but from memory diamond firetails juvs usually already have dark fronts by the time they fledge..
