Good job tina! spot on! thanks!

i dunno why my cuckoo is a bit blue on the top. must be white balance, though i've edited the pic to be neutral as much as possible. must be a new variation for in this part of oz.

on the new holland honeyeater, no wonder i had difficulty, its a juvenile. all the time i was thinking it's an adult robin.

muchos gracias!
