White-breasted Woodswallows
Pretty sociable cuties.
Wiki, "The name "woodswallow" is a misnomer as they are not closely related to true swallows. Instead, they belong to the family Artamidae, which also includes butcherbirds, currawongs and the Australian magpie."

Great double double. Great action and behavioral picture of these lovely Woodswallows. Terrific JB!
 
What a charming capture of the lovely Wood Swallows, JB! An interesting explanation of how they are related (or not) to other bird species too.

These must be one of the cutest of species, don't you think JB. They seem to love huddling up together. They were one of the first birds I saw on my first full day in Brisbane.

A fabulous picture of this wee group lad - thanks.
