Plumed Whistling Duck (Dendrocygna eytoni), Its name comes from the soft, whistling calls it uses to communicate, and those striking cream plumes along its flanks. Found across Eastern and Northern Australia, they often gather in large flocks during the dry season.

Noisy Friarbird (Philemon corniculatus), one of Australia's largest Honeyeaters and one of four in the Friarbird family. Typically quite aggressive towards other birds, they're usually found in groups with other Honeyeaters. The bald head helps them to stay clean when feeding on large flowers with sticky nectar, they're also known to eat eggs and baby birds.

Olive-backed Oriole (Oriolus sagittatus), juvenile female still rocking her immature plumage. These birds are usually heard before they're seen and can mimic not only other birds but non-bird sounds as well, they often throw our monitoring software into a state of confusion.

Sooty Oystercatcher (Haematopus fuliginosus)
