I think they are a breeding pair as even though that one on the left looks babyish they are both the same size..... strange how one has a dark beak and the other an orange one

does anyone know what they are?

Once I know what they are I can delete this thread and add it to my backyard pics

there called "Dollar Birds" due to the white spot on the underside of the wing aka Silver Dollar.Migratory species heads south to breed in the spring, spends winter in the tropics including New Guinea.Yep, adult and youngster.

Image is a bit dark and I'm not great on bird names. You could try something like: Birds in Backyards - Bird finder (http://www.birdsinbackyards.net/finder/)

yeah I know its a bit dark......

I have actually lightened it right up too.....it was even darker. they were quite some distance away I couldn't get very close. I was surprised I even managed to get colour:D

most of them came out as a silhouette :lol2: the sky was surprisingly bright for a dull evening. they were so far away I couldn't even spot meter for exposure.
