Magpielark

Grallina cyanoleuca

Came up close to my computer room window. I've translated to black and white
as the bird is black and white and the gravel was too busy in colour.

One of the most familiar of the Australians birds, found commonly in areas of all kinds including urban parks & gardens, usually near water. It has a common name based on the call "pee-wee".

Looks like a down-under pidgeon.
