[UNCLASSIFIED] Some new birds from around Floriade

Nope that is not correct

the teeny titch cracker is probably a female white browed scrubwren- if i am looking at the right photo

the fluffball with orange legs is a sitella

heh heh, but I know what you meant Anthony

The duck is a hybrid domestic duck, I believe someone said previously it may be a khaki campbell cross

I am very upset with those photos

How can someone be so good at it, when all the photos I take of birds are so bad

Hey there fellow GOGers,

Just finished putting up 
some new shots taken around Floriade this morning and the Botanic Gardens 
earlier in the week.

Alas, in my excitement at seeing the Corellas from a 
distance, I forgot to check my settings and found that I had left it on ISO400 
and in high speed crop, so they are burned out, and when flying past, I 
clipped their wings a tad, but they are okay nonetheless. I think they are 
Little Corellas, not long? Although the males(?) do seem to have longer beaks 
than the females(?).

I also got some nice:

• Black Swan shots
• Purple Swamp Hens all in a row and in the flowers
• a weirdo brown and white duck that looks like a domestic cross???
• a Grey Fantail
• a little teeny titch-cracker I have no idea what it is (looks maybe like a White-Browed Scrub Wren???)
• better shots of some Silver Eyes
• a really cute little fuzz ball with orange legs who was tearing up some spider web to eat / make a nest???.
  

If you want to check out the first @20-ish shots, 
they are mostly the newbies: http://www.macattack.com.au ->
