Australia - Manic Street Preachers Part II

 "I want to Fly and Run until it hurts, Sleep for a while and Speak no Words"

"In Australia, In Australia!"

So, let's see how many mistakes we can make this time, only 4 on the Post of last Sunday so surely room for improvement? Any duplicates not intentional.
Known to Most
BLACK SWAN
WHITE-FACED HERON
TAWNY-CROWNED HONEYEATER
PURPLE SWAMPHEN
WESTERN ROSELLA
North a little from the south coast lies the
STIRLING RANGE NATIONAL PARK
with maybe more Cockatoo's, both numbers and species, than anywhere else in the Country including:-
WHITE-TAILED BLACK COCKATOO
RED-TAILED BLACK COCKATOO
along with the seriously endangered
CARNABY'S BLACK COCKATOO
BRAHMNIY KITE
RED WHATTLEBIRD
LAUGHING DOVE
AUSTRALIAN PAINTED LADY
WALABY
RESTLESS FLYCATCHER
PEMBERTON
where we picked up some of the 'Westerners'
WESTERN SPINEBILL
WESTERN YELLOW ROBIN
and
WESTERN GERIGONE
and on the
SANDFLATs
BLACK-FRONTED PLOVER
and close by our first Fairywren if you want a 'total blinder'
SPLENDID FAIRY-WREN
(male)
and the sharply contrasting
(FEMALE)
We feel like we have had these before, but rather than check no-one would baulk at a gaggle of
AUSTRALIAN PELICAN
(a strange old bird is the Pelican, its bill can hold more than its Belly can!)
NEW HOLLAND HONEYEATER
BLACK-FACED CUCKOO-SHRIKE
along with a
Notice to Mariners
YELLOW-RUMPED THORNBIRD
AUSTRALIAN GREBE
(seen before me thinks)
RED-WINGED FAIRY WREN
RING-NECKED PARROT
SACRED KINGFISHER
YELLOW-PLUMED HONEYEATER
REGENT PARROT
UNTIL WE MEET THE 'DINKS' AGAIN!
