That didn't take you long and all correct - well - you have
the hirundinaceum correct for the first one so I assume you know
what it is.
Next time I'll have to give you a 24 hr handicap!

I'll give a few below that may provide a challenge to link to the
current
names. They're taken from "The Illustrated Dictionary of Australian
Birds
by Common Name" by Jim Macdonald. Jim was a former head of the Bird
Department of the British Museum, he retired to Brisbane and sadly
passed
away a couple of years ago.
Please suggest the current names for:
Australian flower-swallow - Australian Flower-Pecker Motacilla
hirundinaceum
Bank diamond - Spotted Pardalote
Betcherrygah - Budgerigar
betting bird - White-tailed Nightjar
black bell-magpie - Pied Currawong
black redbill - Sooty Oystercatcher
I'll give the correct names in a week or so, the prize is ..... the
satisfaction of knowing!
Pete
