Magpie-Lark

Magpie-Larks are live in all of Australia exept for Tasmania. Therefore, they obtained a couple of different local names like Mudlark ora Peewee - still, it's always the same bird. They do well in nearly any environment, so I photographed the first one in the outback and the next ones in the middle of Melbourne.

I alway saw only one at a time and checking the pictures later with my book, all photographed birds are female - one can judge that by the colour of the throat. Males have a black, females a white throat.
