Campbell Islands Shag
Leucocarbo campbelli
A medium-sized, black-and-white marine shag with a metallic green-and-blue glimmer on the black head, neck, and throat. Note the white wing patches. Breeding birds have a prominent crest and a yellow line above the gape of the long, pointed bill. There is a yellow patch at the base of the bill that fades to a bright red spot. Non-breeding adults lack the crest and plumage fades to brown. Juveniles are similar to adults, but with brown upperparts. Endemic to Campbell Islands and only found in shallow waters nearby. Only resident shag species on Campbell Island.

Black-faced Pitta
Pitta anerythra
A long-legged, plump-bodied, mostly ground-dwelling bird with bluish-green wings and back, a pale aqua shoulder patch, a light peach-tawny underside and chest, a white throat, and a deep black head. On Choiseul and Santa Isabel, has a light ruddy brown crown. On Bougainville, has a black crown and brown streak behind the eye. Resident in primary forest and forest edge habitats. Unique within its range. Voice is a series of short, rising growling sounds, similar to a kettle boiling.
Little Paradise-Kingfisher
Tanysiptera hydrocharis
A little-known, long-tailed kingfisher of riverine forests. White underparts and rump, black mask, deep blue wing, pale blue cap, red bill and long tail. Very similar to Common Paradise-Kingfisher, but Little Paradise-Kingfisher is smaller, with a darker crown, blue rather than white outer tail feathers and a slighter bill. The safest way to separate, however is by vocalization. Song, a series of 8 descending notes.
Indian Pied Starling
Gracupica contra
This sharply attired black-and-white starling has a pointed yellowish bill with an orange base. Mainly black upperparts with white belly and white rump noticeable in flight. Note the bare, deep orange patch around its eye that contrasts with its white cheek. Easternmost birds have a white, streaked forehead. Seen in loose flocks close to human habitation feeding on human refuse. Garbage dumps, damp grazing lands, and well-watered parks are its favoured haunts. Noisy with a variety of calls that includes mimicked sounds of other birds.
