Quite a few responses, thank you.  Suzi B and Philip V got them all and others missed by only one.

 

1. Hardhead (Duck) – actually it was a male but not evident in that sliver.
2. Gang-gang male
3. Willie Wagtail
4. Great Crested Grebe, rear end. Some suggested Australasian.  The thin legs and colour, and topicality, might have been a pointer.
5. House Sparrow.  Mark said sub-dominant male so who am I to disagree.
6. White-faced Heron.
7. Tawny Frogmouth – in my backyard actually.  I believe it is the female that has that brownish streak, in this case.  Seen it a few times.
8. Grey fantail
9. Zebra Finch, male, from Kelly Swamp, of course

Won’t do this again too soon. Maybe in spring.
