This Common Bronzewing Pigeon is on the larger side - beautiful colours on wings. Below, the Striated Thornbills - at 10cm and weighing just 9 grams are actually classed as a medium-sized thornbill. I thought this juvenile Crimson Rosella in moult was an Eastern Rosella until it turned to show crimson head and blue cheek patch. There have been reports of Easterns and Crimsons cross-breeding. I find it hard to get a good photo of Grey Fantails - they are never still. For a small bird they are very confident and will happily swoop people, dogs - even cats. The Australian Magpie can weigh up to 350 grams and has a wingspan of 85cm. They can live for 25 years - so it's likely you're seeing the same magpies every day in your garden.
