User's notes

Apologies for the poor photos, but they were rather nervous and flew off before I could get closer. They were approximately the size of a Magpie Lark, but I was unable to find an ID amongst the birds already identified here. Hopefully they will be back tomorrow and I will capture a better quality photo! They had a metallic sheen, yellow beak and put me in mind of the Spangled Drongo.
