Both were in our garden recently.
This little one that was on our birdbath on the weekend, I'd not seen before. This was the only shot I could get, sorry, so couldn't get its back and it flew off very quickly so didn't really get a chance to get a good look at it. Doesn't matter if anyone doesn't know but I thought I'd ask.
And this one I know I've seen before but can't remember what it is. It's the first time I've gotten so close to it (it's not cropped) and I was delighted to get a few shots before it took off.
The second is a Bassian Thrush.
Cheers Beef.
No2 is one of my favourite birds, a Bassian Thrush, like Beef said. I have a few in my garden, saw one just a minute ago

No1 is a Thornbill, either a Brown, or a Striated one? If you would have seen the eye, it would be easier to ID, the Striated Thornbill has a brown eye, but the Brown Thornbill has a red eye. Knowing where you live, like me, we should have both.
Nice photos Kathie.

1 is definitely a Striated Thornbill
Cheers, Owen.
Great pics, and great birds to have in your yard.
@Owen - if you read this, I've posted a few things under Best Photos that involve raptor ID. Would love your 2 bobs worth if you get a chance :)
Cheers, Scott
