Mystery Bird

["Birds of Perth" <>]

Hi Tim,

Possibly Australian Magpie-Lark, or as us west-aussies call them "Mudlark".
Is this your bird here .....

These are very common around the Perth metro area and common in the
south-west. They are often seen foraging for insects in grass or on lawn,
and regularily use telephone wires and fences for perches. They are about
1/2 the size of a Magpie and 3 x the size of a Willie Wagtail. Let us know
if this ID is correct.

Happy Birding,
