These where taken at Mount Annan botanical Gardens today. I was wondering if the first one is a White-browed Scrub Wren. Apologies for the other 3 photos I couldn't get close enough as it kept flying away. It was hanging around the reed & in the last 2 photos it was flying off with apart of the r eed in it's mouth.
Thanks

White-browed scrub wren &, possibly, clamorous reed warbler.
Thanks Woko.
Agree with the first one being a White-browed Scrubwren. The second in my opinion is not a warbler. Reason being, it looks like it's collecting nesting material and is flying away from the reed, an area in which it would normally build its nest. However, that said, it does not discount it may have been flying to another patch of reeds with the goods. It is difficult to tell from the picture. I think the ventral view with the plumage markings and details will be more helpful to someone familiar with passerine type birds. Me, I am not.
