Please help id this bird.

This grey bird came to collect crumbs from our Paluma Dam (NQ) picnic table. It doesn't look like anything in my book. Sorry I didn't get a photo of the front of the bird.

Hi Bruce, can't tell you what kind of bird it is, but what I would like to tell you, and I hope you are not going to be offended by it, Please don't feed birds bread. It's not part of their natural diet  and does them great harm crying.

Sorry Bruceblush

Could be a Grey Shrike Thrush.

No offence taken, this one was actually cleaning up the picnic area, it wasn't deliberately being fed!

Very wise, Adele. The bird looks like a grey shrike-thrush to me, too. It might be a juvenile due to the lack of brown colouring on its back.
