Western Australia, Perth area (1 Viewer)

Hi Folks,

Here are some queries from Western Australia, all around Perth. First two images we think are tree martin from King's Park in Perth taken on 28/9/14. A little doubt sown by the amount of colouration on the breast - anybody disagree ?

Next two, same time and place - golden whistler ?

Only one image of the third bird taken on 29th near Bell's rapids on the Swan River just a bit NE from Perth. Bird in undergrowth so the light wasn't good, and only got one shot. To start off we thought this was a Jacky Winter (Brown Flycatcher) but comparing the tail markings with photos on the web suggests not. Can anyone suggest what this might be ?

Many thanks, Mike.

Thanks all,

Didn't like the lack of grey on the back of the first bird, now explained !

On the gerygone, I was struggling with the undertail markings as books don't show this area well. Now I know what to search for I have found plenty of images on the web which support this suggestion strongly.

Thanks again, Mike.
