Black-Faced Woodswallow? First one I've ever seen. Was out looking at a wedding Photo location when this little bird popped up and sat on a fence. It was about the size of a finch, so very small. I've looked in the field guide and this is the closest I can get. Location was between Rockhampton and Yeppoon on the Capricorn Coast.

And I think this is a White-Bellied Sea Eagle, but I originally thought it was an Osprey. I know it's not an Osprey, but I don't recall ever seeing one of these around here before.

Sorry about the quality. Caught hand-holding because I forgot to pack the monopod. Canon EOS1D Mk II w/Sigma 120-300 F2.8 + 2xTC + 1.4xTC

Now this one, I have absolutely no idea about. It looks like a Gibberbird, but it is nowhere near a desert.

That could be a Pipit, or perhaps a Bushlark or Skylark.

I think Pipit, actually.

Does look like a Pipit. Richard's Pipit?
