Nice spotting, Karen. I know these birds as peewee's. The name magpie-lark is confusing because it is neither a magpie, nor a lark. Regardless, you have both a male and female here. They are usually in pairs. The male has the black throat and the female is white.

" Every spotting is a puzzle piece in the jigsaw puzzle of life. When the picture begins to appear, there is no reason to cease working." nice intro.This quote makes so much sense.
