This is a series of well-kept feathers I found scattered along the roadside within about 15 meters of each-other. Potentially from multiple species. Once I get some general ID's for groups I would like to re-upload as individual sets.
My guess is that A. & B. come from either the Australian Raven or Little Raven, both of witch are in the area. C-H I'm not sure on - could be from the same. I. I'm fairly sure is from a magpie-lark. J. I'm not sure, but leaning towards a European Starling.
It would also be great if there are any feather-experts out there who could enlighten me as to what kind of feathers these are (Different shapes signify different functions? Wing. Vs. Tail?)

What's the small light coloured tern in the middle of the Whiskered terns? Is it a non breeding Whiskered? I don't see these here in Tassies so not too familiar with them.
