David, that common Myna doesn't look common to me.
The last two are my favorites.

Thanks for sharing David, I am liking #3 and #5 and the variety you have shown.

I imagine the Whistling Kite has that name for a reason?

Karl


Thanks Karl. I didn't her a whistle when I saw the Kite, maybe I was concentrating too hard

Great shots David
That magpie is very odd looking bird

great set of images, most of these are a first seen for me

Nice to see you enjoying our Aussie birds (though the Myna is an introduced pest and the subject of eradication programs)

Nice variety here david.

cool set of some very rare ones for here David. I like the last two best.

A nice set David. A few of them have a bit harsh and difficult light. The first one is my pick

David, nice shots. The second myna shot is much better than the first I think. Mind you the Common Myna is NOT a liked bird here. They were introduced from Asia and have become a major pest aggressively competing with native birds for food and nesting sites.

Nice shot of the Australian Magpie too. They're mostly a liked bird here except in spring when some are known to swoop possible threats to their nesting site. While growing up I recall some particularly over-protective magpies swooping kids. That was a great concern to the average 6-10 year old having to walk or ride bikes to school.

David,
Thanks for sharing this unique set

I really like #5 David! Good work!
