Fiery-breasted Bushshrike
Malaconotus cruentus
A massive arboreal bushshrike of lowland forests. Shaped like a typical bushshrike but oversized, with a giant bill. Throat and breast are orange-red, fading to yellow under the tail. Head is gray with two giant white spectacles around the eyes. The back, wings, and tail are yellow-green with dark spots at the tips of the secondary flight feathers and tail. Locally overlaps with Lagden’s Bushshrike and possibly with Green-breasted Bushshrike and Monteiro’s Bushshrike, but Fiery-breasted is unique in its combination of orange-red breast and bright white spectacles. Gives a series of short, ringing hoots, “kwhop, kwhop,” sometimes spaced out by several seconds.

Magpie-lark
Grallina cyanoleuca
Large, terrestrial songbird with long, strong legs and fairly long, thin bill. Male black above, white below, with white wing patch, white face patch, white eye, black bib, black eyeline; female has white throat and immature a dark eye. Inhabits parks, gardens, and urban areas. Aggressive and noisy, often attacking its own reflection in car mirrors and windows. Much smaller than Australian Magpie, with a smaller pale bill.
Orange-bellied Fruit-Dove
Ptilinopus iozonus
The common, small fruit-dove of more open wooded areas in the lowlands and foothills. Stocky, short-tailed and mainly green. Gathers in large groups in the canopy of fruiting fig trees. Similar to female White-breasted and Claret-breasted Fruit-Doves but Orange-bellied Fruit-Dove has an orange central belly, pale eye and lacks the yellow stripe between the bill and eye of White-breasted. Common call, a series of accelerating, upslurred “wuup” notes.
Fluffy-backed Tit-Babbler
Macronus ptilosus
Unfortunately, like many other birds named for back characteristics, the fluffiness of this babbler’s upperparts are not typically visible. It is nonetheless a handsome and attractive bird, with a chestnut crown, a jet-black throat, and electric blue skin patches on the face and neck. Forages in dense lower levels of vegetation in lowland and hill forests. Vocalizations are variable; most commonly heard is a quiet hooting series of around 4–5 notes. Calls include harsh churrs, rattles, and croaks.
