Margaret,
Your first lot of photographs are of a White-plumed Honeyeater and the ones shown on this set a young White-winged Trillers.

Same place, same time (within 1½ hours) as the previous mailing. Hint – a male white winged triller was photographed in a tree only a few metres away from this one. Note what looks like a patch of dried blood on the bird’s chest. I blew it up, and it really does look as though it was clawed by something.
Thank you again,
Margaret Leggoe
PS. The greatest difficulty I had this morning was deciding which bird to point my lens at. The tree tops were alive with pardalotes, thornbills, varied sittellas, willie wagtails, eastern rosellas, red-rumped parrots, and lower down the fairy wrens and dusky woodswallows. And one diamond firetail.
