Photo 1

Photo1 - Nutmeg Mannikin. Note the scalloping in the feather pattern. It is not hard to tell them apart from all the other finches and manikins seen in the tropics. Juveniles do not have the scalloping.



Photo 4

Photo 4 - Yellow Honeyeater. This is a common bird of tropical north Queensland that is easily distinguished by its overall yellow colour. Some call it the bush canary.


Photo 3
Photo 3 - Australian Brush-turkey (Race purpureicollis). Most will identify this bird but some may not pick the violet tinged white collar of this Cape York race


Photo 2

Photo 2 - White-browed Robin. One of the tropical Robins that is distinguished by the bold white brow that none of the other Robins have.
