Some small birds if you can see them. Two White-breasted Woodswallows in the sky. They actually aren't related to swallows are martins. The larger one in flight on the right is a friarbird.

This is a Grey Fantail. They have just turned up from the mountains for winter.

Blue-spangled Drongo high up in a tree. Can always be identified by its fish-tail. Drongo is a derogatory term in Strine - which was a name of a racehorse. However, the bird name is of a different origin and is Malagasy. This drongo is a black bird with iridescent blue spangles.
