Here's a few more birdies I managed to capture this morning ...
A Lewin's Honeyeater

A Butcherbird. These guys are similar to our Magpies and, like Magpies, attack humans during baby season ... which is just ending now. I was shooting the Honeyeater when I heard this 'warning' (Butcherbirds give you warning as they attack) and seeing as I ignored him completely and carried on taking my photo, he swooped me so close I could feel the air whiz by me!

These next two I can't identify yet. They may be juveniles of some sort.
