Fits the description of a Pied Currawong, which doesn't live in WA (this bird or similar has been around here for years but I don't see it in birding lists for Albany)

I'm pretty sure it's a Grey Currawong (Strepera plumbea).

Thanks Paul! You are probably right but I read this, http://www.amonline.ne​t.au/factSheets/pied_c​urrawong.htm (external link)
"Two other species of currawong are found in Australia. The Grey Currawong, S. versicolor, lives in Australia's south, while the Black Currawong, S. fuliginosa, is restricted to Tasmania. Both of these species differ from the Pied Currawong in lacking white on the rump."
