Hi Delia,

I'm guessing Crested should be Pacific Baza (Aviceda subcristata) which is also called Crested Hawk or Falcon by some people.

The Cicadabird is Coracina tenuirostris, I'm unsure of the descriptive used in the World checklists.

Russet-tailed Thrush ( Zoothera heini) Bassian Thrush (Zoothera lunalata)

Forgot to add, I'm wondering if the black and white flycatcher is Willie Wagtail (Rhipidura leucophrys)

Cheers
Gavin

Delia,

I said Black and White Flycatcher instead of Fantail in my previous post. I still think this is Willie Wagtail which is a fantail species and the only black and white fantail we have.

Cheers
Gavin

Black&White fantail is indeed mentioned as an alternative name for Willie Wagtail in my Pizzey & Knight
