A brightly coloured bird, the golden-browed chlorophonia is distinctive within its range. The male is bright green above and yellow below, with a wide golden-yellow eyebrow stripe and a violet-blue cap. It has a narrow blue eye ring and a thin blue line extending from its nape to its breast. The female is similar, but without the golden brown and yellow breast; these are both replaced with green. They average 13 cm (5.1 in) in length.

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

Also known as the Golden Browed Bulbul, this is an endemic bird of South India and Sri Lanka. The bird is bright yellow and easy to identify in the bush and canopy where they are sighted. Apparently, this subspecies of the bird we shot in the Malabar region / Western Coast is a bit paler than the subspecies on the other coast - though I haven't seen it yet.
The birds are of the same size as other bulbuls - maybe 20 cms - and are found in small groups. We sighted several around fruiting trees such as wild berries, Figs and they were quite loud during the time. The calls were a tad easy to remember and just like other bulbuls they were noisy. This is the start of their breeding season and hence I think they were out more than usual.
Many thanks in advance for your views, feedback and faves.
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.
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.

Although coucals are related to cuckoos they are not brood parasites.
These mid sized birds are no easy subjects as they move around in bushes and thickets all the time. Early in the morning is the best time in my experience.

Red-browed Finches are extremely social birds, and they often hang out in flocks of usually up to 10. Non-breeding birds help raise chicks from other broods.

Türkisbrauenmotmot ...aus der Familie der Sägeracken!
Wikipedia: In Costa Rica it is known as momoto cejiceleste or the far-less flattering pájaro bobo ("foolish bird"), owing to its tendency to allow humans to come very near it without flying away.
The turquoise-browed motmot is a well-known bird in its range and has been chosen as the national bird of both El Salvador and Nicaragua
Neochmia temporalis
Taken in the Cullendulla reserve in North Batemans Bay. The reserve is one of the few areas that escaped the devastating bush fires in New South Wales, Australia.
