Thanks for visiting. I am very grateful for the kind comments and faves.

Red-browed Finch snacking on grass seeds. I had to crawl on my stomach ever so slowly towards this little guy and was able to get reasonably close enough to get this shot.

For the past few days I had been seeing a new yellow bird in my backyard, never seen before. So I was on the alert and got lucky when one of them landed close on the branch of the jackfruit tree. Was delighted to note that it was the Yellow-browed Bulbul, a gorgeous bird found in the Western Ghats, southern India and Sri Lanka. There are three known sub-species and this particular one is the Acritillas Indica Indica that is found in the Western Ghats in Kerala though they are known to frequent the coastal areas too. This Bulbul lacks a crest and has the upperparts olive-green with a prominent yellow brow and goggle with the underparts being all yellow as seen in the shot.
Thalassarche melanophris
Bempton Cliffs, Yorkshire
This Albatross is believed to have lived in Europe since 2014, when he is likely to have been blown off course and left unable to return to his breeding grounds in the South Atlantic. It has now spent at least part of its summer amongst the Bempton Gannet colony on 4 occasions first visting in 2017.
Seen in forest regions of Southern India.
Thank you ANUJ , for the ID of the bird.
