Well, they were difficult to the point of impossible. Top marks for bravery to Philip V.

They were:

Yellow-faced Honeyeater
Common Starling
Bell Miner
Brown Tree-creeper

And No 5? That was an Australian Raven, in fact the ANU white-winged Australian Raven. I had, perhaps a little unfairly, included a panel of white wing feathers in the frame. That makes all the more astonishing Graeme Clifton's identification of 'crow's foot'. How on earth could he get that, or, what I would like to know, what is it about a crow's foot that is so distinctive?

You will all be delighted to know that I will not inflict on you a second series I have to hand. The answers to those are -
Rainbow Bee-eater, New Holland Honeyeater, Crimson Chat, and Wonga Pigeon
