Yellow-chinned Sunbird
Anthreptes rectirostris
A very small sunbird with a short, slightly curved bill. Males are iridescent leaf green above with a red-and-black chest band, yellow throat, and buffy gray belly. Females are drab and warbler-like with an inconspicuous pale eyebrow. Found in rainforest, farmbush, and plantations, mostly in the canopy. Males are similar to Collared Sunbird, but can be separated by the yellow rather than green chin, and the red chest band. Females can be confused with Green Hylia, which is smaller with much less conspicuous pale markings on the face.

Striped Kingfisher
Halcyon chelicuti
A small and dainty woodland-dwelling kingfisher with powder-blue tail and flight feathers, creamy collar, dark eye-stripe, and streaky brown crown. Singles and pairs are inconspicuous in the mid-canopy of parkland-like savanna and woodland, preferring more arid thornveld than other dryland kingfishers. It draws attention to itself with a loud, ringing “teeep-tiiii-rrrrrrr” and rollicking “trrreerrr-treeerr-treeer” calls.
Straw-necked Ibis
Threskiornis spinicollis
Blackish ibis with white neck and underparts, beautiful iridescence on upper parts visible in good light. Adult has ‘straw-like’ plumes on neck, which are absent in juveniles. Often flies in formation at high altitudes, with flock sizes varying greatly. Typically feeds in grassland habitats, farm paddocks, and sporting fields.
Pigeon Guillemot
Cepphus columba
Small jet-black seabird of coastal areas of the Pacific. Breeding plumage is black with bold white wing patch and bright red legs. Plumage changes dramatically in winter to whitish overall with dusky markings on body and black wingtips. Often found in shallower coastal waters than other alcids and regularly seen from shore. Dives to hunt for fish and invertebrates. Nests in crevice or burrow in a cliff or around large rocks.
