Strepera graculina
The Pied Currawong is a large, mostly black bird, with a bright yellow eye. Small patches of white are confined to the under tail, the tips and bases of the tail feathers and a small patch towards the tip of each wing (visible in flight). The bill is large and black and the legs are dark grey-black. Both sexes are similar, although the female may sometimes be greyer on the underparts. Young Pied Currawongs are duller and browner than the adults (From Birds in Backyards)
These photos were taken at the end of the Australian Winter. The one on the bird bath was in my neighbours yard. The rest in and around my front and back yard. They were very active at this time getting ready to nest and breed.
