Any ideas on these four? All from inner Perth.
In order, duck, sparrer, finch, wren.
Hope that helps.

first image looks like a whistling duck to me (Australian native duck)

I think the 2nd and 3rd are both Striated Pardalotes

Thank you thank you. I thought it might be plumed whistling duck. Only rarely seen in Perth apparently, more common further north in WA.

I think you’re right that 2nd is striated pardalote. 3rd possibly.
4th.
Weebill?
Inland thornbill?

My sister and BiL are birding fanatics. I can email your pics and ask her, if you like. She’llknow, since these are local Perth birds.

Hey, great !
Yes please. I’ll add a few more in next post.
In all, saw 79 bird species in the 3 weeks in Perth. The column “bird count” is from the Aussie Backyard Bird Count for Western Australia.
The column “total” is the number of different locations where I saw the bird. Oh, add a third fairy tern location, also need to check on cattle egret.
