Trailer park trash - not!

These Red-browed finch and friends were fellow tenants at the Breakaway Twin Rivers Caravan Park at Acheron this weekend:

Red-browed finch (Neochmia temporalis) 
I'm very familiar with this view (above) of these birds
but amongst the group were a few cooperative individuals
on this occasion.



Red-browed and red rumped
but not a firetail!

This is an immature male developing its coloured plumage.
(Pizzey says this occurs during the bird's first breeding season)
Superb fairy-wren (female or immature) 
The same bird again
