Hello Boongie
Your first bird looks like a whistling kite.
Your second bird is a shining flycatcher.
The third bird looks like an eastern yellow robin but they don't occur in Darwin, only up and down the east coast. The only member of that family up there is the mangrove robin. The Top End over here usually only refers to Darwin and the northern part of Northern Territory -is that where you got it or was it along the east coast of Queensland. For if it was the latter then that would make sense.

Hi birdbowley
Yeah, you are probably right. Can't see how it can be anything else. The bill just looked a little too bulky.

And if you want to be taxonomically more precise, the flycatcher is M. a. melvillensis
