West Solomons Owl
Athene jacquinoti
A rather small orange-eyed owl with lightly spotted brown upperparts and paler underparts. Prefers well-developed forest, mainly in lowlands, but up to 1500 meters of elevation. Unlikely to overlap in range with any similar species. Vocal range poorly known, but a series of monotone “poop” or “chong” notes is regularly reported. Found from Bougainville, Buka, and Choiseul in the north to Florida Island in the south. Formerly lumped with Guadalcanal, Malaita, and Makira Owls under the name “Solomons Boobook.”

Slender-billed White-eye
Zosterops tenuirostris
Endemic to Norfolk Island, where occurs alongside the similar Silvereye. Slender-billed is slightly larger, with a longer, thinner bill and plainer plumage, lacking the buff flanks of Silverye. Common throughout the island, where prefers forested areas but can also be found in edge habitats.

Asian House-Martin
Delichon dasypus
Small, compact swallow with dark (glossy dark blue) upperparts, smudgy gray cast on whitish underparts, and bright white rump. Very similar to Northern and Nepal House-Martins, with gray-smudged underparts intermediate between the clean white belly of the former and black sides of the latter. Sometimes mistaken for House Swift when seen from above, but the chunkier shape and broader wings of the swallow are distinctive. Often nests in bustling colonies on cliffs and under the eaves of human-made structures.

Opalton Grasswren
Amytornis rowleyi
Small, long-tailed bird with black moustache and rufous-brown upperparts, found only in the Winton-Opalton area of western Queensland, where it is the only expected grasswren. This species is found in habitat with large spinifex clumps, where it scurries around between clumps. Upperparts rufous-brown, with white throat and pale underparts. Formerly considered a subspecies of Striated Grasswren.
