I was out at Gold Creek Reservoir north-west of Brisbane, and I saw a couple of birds that I wasn't sure of - one I know I should know, but can't think of, the other, I'm a bit lost on.
Background on habitat - mostly dry forest, surrounding a large body of water.
The first one - apologies for the quality, it was quite a long shot. (thus have been cropped)
Second one I thought it was a Shrike-Thrush of some kind, but that's a bit of a guess.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
The first one is a Varied Sitella, race leucocephala (White Headed Sitella).
I think the second one is a Grey Shrike Thrush.
Yep, agree on both counts Tim. Grey Shrike-thrush is the one I was thinking of, the white patch was throwing me for some reason, but having looked around, yep.
Thanks!
