Jeeez Tony

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
