A noisy miner. Not one of Australias most beloved birds as they do tend to displace a lot of other natives. They do have a fair bit of character to them though so it's hard to dislike them much.
A Plumed Whistling-Duck (Dendrocygna eytoni) according to my friend Storm. Although I've only just noticed that Mel suggested a while ago that it could be a Wandering Whistling-Duck and I didn't notice that she'd posted that one. Sorry Mel! OK, it's time for a duck off..... Wandering or Plumed? Which shall it be................?
