Close Sue, you've got the right size |;|

 

[Joshua-B]

And no, it's not a butterfly, it's a bird

 

[SueO]

Ok, Zitting?

 

[Joshua-B]

not a cisticola (nor a grassbird or reedwarbler)

 

[Silverwolf]

Slender-billed Thornbill....?

Was it taken in New South Wales?

 

[Joshua-B]

I'm back now - no, not taken in NSW, but it is found in Sydney (if you know where to look |;| )

 

[Silverwolf]

Random guess: House Sparrow.

 

[Joshua-B]

Starting to think this is more difficult than I thought it was...
Clue: Found in all states except NT and ACT

 

[Silverwolf]

White-browed Scrub-wren? If I'm seeing a bird, then I'm seeing some yellow on it.

Then again that's found in the ACT, as far as I'm aware anyway.

 

[Joshua-B]

Lives in heathland...

 

[Joshua-B]

No-one? It starts with S...

 

[John_WA]

Southern Emu-wren....

 

[Joshua-B]

Yes!!!!!!! Must have be harder than I thought! Taken at Melaleuca last December
Someone else can have a go now |;|

 

[Silverwolf]

Something different this time. The only clue is that they are all honeyeaters and they are all common in Victoria (none are range restricted either).

I'll go with Josh for 1-4
For 5 I like Singing and 8 looks like it could be Blue-faced
Not much idea on 6 & 7

 

[Silverwolf]

All are right except for 2.

1- New Holland
3- Bell Miner
4- Spiny-cheeked
5- Singing
6- Eastern Spinebill (foraging upside-down)
7- White-eared
8 - Blue-faced in Sunset

 

[Joshua-B]

2 must be a YTMiner then

 

[Silverwolf]

2 must be a YTMiner then

Isn't YT pretty hard to come by in Vic (At least I never saw one)? And no, it's not Black-eared either. Or a Yeblack threared.

 

[John_WA]

How about Fuscous for 2) then? :h?:
