User's notes

Flock of birds I've not seen in the yard before. Colours range from black, to Black with red-brown highlights on wing edges, to light brown. Size id approximately 15-20cm from tip of beak to end of tail. Noticeable, as I say, because the flock has not been in the yard in the 20 odd years we have lived here. Other birds (Fantail, Wattle bird) trying to scare them off from freshly mown grass.
