@LisaH do you know the size of the feather?

Aaahhh - I can't quite remember, but I think around 20cm?

Probably a Magpie or Currawong

Thank you. I was intrigued by the caramel-coloured part of the feather?

Honestly my first impression was Bronzewing due to the colouring, but the feather is the wrong shape and too dark

I'm pretty sure the "caramel" part is actually supposed to be white, just stained with age and wear.

Ok, interesting - I was in a hurry, just snapped, did not investigate further. Thanks for your time and thoughts, much appreciated
