Southern Whiteface, Scropes Range Barrier Hwy between Wilcannia & Broken Hill NSW.
Crimson Finch, Edith River near Katherine NT.
Shy Heathwren, Broken Bucket Tank, Big Desert VIC.
Flame Robin, Mt Hotham VIC. These birds spend the warmer months at high altitudes & then migrate down to the lowlands in Winter.
Hooded Parrot, Pine Creek NT.
Forest Kingfisher, Atherton Tableland QLD.
Lewin's Honeyeater, near Mt Molloy QLD.
Macleay's Honeyeater, Lake Barrine Far North QLD.
Mistletoebird, Murray River SA Riverland. These birds eat mistletoe berries, excrete the seed which sticks to a branch & another mistletoe plant grows.
As usual I'm a bit evious of the ones I am yet to see & photograph. I think the Shy Heathwren has to be at the top of that list.
I did have a bit of a win a few days ago myself though. We have been hearing Yellow-billed Kingfishers daily for months now but they have been really elusive. Last week I discovered an active nest out in the rainforest & waited impatiently to get a day without rain to return with hope & my camera. Pleased to say I finally got a shot of one. :)

Well done! That's a species that we haven't seen.
The Shy Heathwren is a bugger of a bird to get a shot of.
