Dawn on New Year's Day was quiet especially at the Maroochy Wetlands. Solo me saw a good crop of birds.

| I wonder what this bird with a rufous fantail is called? |
 |
| Ah yes. Rufous Fantail Rhipidura rufifrons |
 |
| Plumed Whistling-duck Dendrocygna eytoni |
 |
| Bar-shouldered Dove Geopelia humeralis |
A family of Forest Kingfishers Todiramphus macleayii were eying off the real estate bargains.
The bird above is a Mangrove Gerygone Gerygone levigaster. The bird below is an immature.
It looks like a Grey Shrike-thrush but is a tad smaller and sounds different. The Australian Bird Identification Facebook page pointed me in the direction of a Little Shrike-thrush Collurcincla megarhyncha. Below are other images of the same bird.
