Hi,

I used to live just north of Perth for 2 and a half years but had no real interest in birds whilst there (I know, its sounds crazy to me now?!!). I've been going through some old photos (some shocking i might add) and was looking for some help in IDing them. The first 4 were taken at Herdsman lake, the last 1 at William Bay National Park, Denmark. I've taken a stab at some of them. Thanks in advance

Dave

1. little egret?
2. Wattlebird?
3. Australian white ibis?
4. blue billed duck?
5. ?

There are Denmarks everywhere. I was tempted to go there while I was in Australia just to tell my European friends I've been to Denmark :t:
