I photographed these two at Mount Annan Botanical Gardens near Campbelltown. Sorry the photos are not very clear, they were taken a fair distance away.

Donna, I went to the Australian National Botanic Gardens, Canberra on Saturday and was fortunate to see a pair of Satin Bowerbirds firstly on the open and then around the bower. Here's a front pic of the hen.
The first is a black-faced cuckoo-shrike, the second I'm not sure, maybe a satin bowerbird female.
spot on there GregL. Cheers Beef.
