hi :) anyone know what these 2 birds might be - quality isn't the best & they were taken at Cannonvale (near Airlie Beach) if that helps


thanks in advanced :))

The first one looks like a sunbird and the second one looks like a grey shrike-thrush.

I'd go with the sunbird. The other looks like a grey shrike- thrush but it's a bit indistinct to be definite. Was it calling like a grey shrike-thrush in which case it was probably a grey shrike-thrush or a very good imitation.

thanks soakes AND Woko - i can't say i heard it call and if i did i wouldn't recognize it any as i was just visiting the area - i was there 3 days and ended up with 12 new birds so i was happy but the weather was terrible hence the quality - thanks again :))

Olive-backed Sunbird for sure,I'd maybe lean towards a Little Shrike-thrush for the second one.
