I’ve been photographing birds the past couple of days.

Birds I saw at Mount Avoca include:

Striated pardalote, White-plumed honeyeater, Red-rumped parrot, Australasian pipit, Satin flycatcher, Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike, Peregrine falcon, Black-fronted Dotterel, a Sparrowhawk or Goshawk, Yellow-rumped Thornbill, Grey Teal, Eastern Spinebill, etc.

Some bird photos.

Welcome Swallow.

Striated Pardalote.

Long-billed Corella

Red-rumped Parrot

Australasian Pipit

Black-faced Cuckoo Shrike

Starling (immature)

Sparrowhawk or Goshawk. ID needed. Some banding under the tail.

Did you take all those snaps moll?

some nice pictures there, very quick look only, perhaps a hobby bottom one, first thought

the australasian pipit, not sure, if it was here i’d be thinking female whistler, again quick glance

love pardalotes

Had to look for the starlings. All I could see at first was the arse of a sheep.

It is a falcon. Definitely not the sparrowhawk or goshawk.

Difficult to pin down because of the not so grand photo but I’d probably pick froom the brown or black falcon.

As for the pipit.
Fedinitely not a pipit. Go with the female rufous whistler.

while having look in the bird book here, you know naming things isn’t that important to me, but I reckon some of the pictures took a while back are of a female or immature red-capped robin, now that I look properly

in a hurry at the time, not sure what I assumed, if anything, perhaps that the bird was a jacky winter

Generally jacky winter were more common than the red capped robin. Often overlooked.

You are both allowing for where he was? Mount Avoca, a little east of the Grampians, North of Ballarat. In Victoria.

Yes, my bad. I wasn’t there. I was referring to what I see here.

We, being transition and I, were referring to our own sightings. Moll did not photograph either a red capped robin nor a jacky winter.
