I chanced upon this Yellow-browed Warbler as I was walking back along Spurn peninsula last Monday. It was the call which alerted me to its presence; a loud disyllabic tsoo-eest that drops on the first syllable and rises on the second. If you want to listen here's a recording from the excellent Xeno Canto website www.xeno-canto.org/528700 . I managed to photograph this individual while it was calling with its bill open. It is smaller and brighter than Chiffchaff or Willow Warbler, with a really prominent eyebrow and two pale wing bars.
Yellow-browed Warbler is a scarce passage migrant to Britain, but whose status has increased markedly in recent decades. From 1950-62 there was an average of 10 records in Britain per year but by 1980 there were more than 300 per year. And after all the easterly winds and rain yesterday there must have been 300 in Britain on that single day. They breed across Siberia in the taiga zone but mainly east of the Ural Mountains. A small population occurred west of the Urals but was described as "fairly scarce" in 1950. By 1990 this population west of the Urals was "locally abundant" with 45-46,000 breeding pairs. That may help explain the increase in numbers in Britain, though the increase in knowledgeable birdwatchers has also helped. But the thing I cannot explain is why these birds fly west to Britain. They should fly about 6000km SE to Indo-China, but instead hundreds fly 3000km west to end up in Britain. I presume these birds migrate south to winter in Africa though an African wintering population has not yet been discovered.
Partially Obscured. I thought I'd publish since the eye, part of the white eyebrow mark and the unique "chevron" marks on the wing leading edge are visible. These birds were once commonplace.
Yellow-browed Warbler is a puzzling bird in many ways. Its closest breeding area is just west of the Urals, which is at least 3000km from Britain, yet hundreds turn up in Britain each year, particularly in autumn. The species breeds right across the taiga zone and winters widely in Nepal, southern China and the Malay peninsula. So birds would generally fly about 6000km southeast to reach their wintering grounds. So why do hundreds fly 3000km west (ie the wrong direction) to reach Britain? I wonder if there is now an undiscovered wintering area in Africa that has established recently and so these "vagrants" reaching Britain are just stopping off on their normal migration to Africa. At least one Yellow-browed Warbler has occurred in Senegal in December.
Anyway there were an unbelievable 27 Yellow-browed Warblers in the Spurn area yesterday, and I managed to find two of these myself as I was wandering along the peninsula, including this little poser. They are small birds, considerably smaller than a Chiffchaff, but this crop makes it look large. There was a bit of clutter right and left so I opted for a portrait crop.
Its scientific name, Phylloscopus inornatus, is also a bit of a puzzle. Phylloscopus means leaf-gleaner and it is the same genus as Chiffchaff, Willow Warbler and Wood Warbler. But inornatus means undecorated or inornate, yet it has more stripes and bars than its undecorated cousins. That is because when Edward Blyth first described it new to science back in 1842, he thought it was a type of Goldcrest but lacking the golden crown. So Blyth named it Regulus inornatus, the undecorated Goldcrest or Kinglet.
Quiet and unobtrusive little birds which spend a lot of time on the ground eating grass seeds in small groups. When disturbed they fly up into a nearby tree until danger passes.
Four of a family of approx. eight White-browed Babblers (Pomatostomus superciliosus) dust bathing in the late evening at Terrick Terrick National Park, central Victoria, Australia. I know little about this behaviour, but apparently birds do this to remove parasites. So far, I've seen White-browed Babblers, Rainbow Bee-eaters and White-winged Choughs doing this.
The rufous-browed flycatcher is a species of bird in the family Muscicapidae. It is found in Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
Scientific name: Anthipes solitaris
f/8, 840mm, shutter speed 1/13, ISO 800. on tripod. Cropped
The White-browed Coucal can be difficult to see due to its habit of skulking in shrubbery, undergrowth and dense waterside vegetation.
So I guess I shouldn’t be too upset it’s partially obscured by twigs…but I am!! 😂
As with other Coucals, the White-browed Coucal is non-parasitic. The males construct a nest, they then incubate the eggs and provide most of the feeding and care for the young ❤️

Red-browed Finch
Scientific Name: Neochmia temporalis
Description: The Red-browed Finch is most easily recognised by its bright red eyebrow, rump and beak, on an otherwise green and grey bird. Upperparts are olive green with grey underneath. Both sexes are similar in appearance. Often observed in small flocks, which feed on the grass. They will fly into dense undergrowth when disturbed by a passer-by. Red-browed Finches may also be called Red-browed Firetails.
Similar species: Silvereye
Distribution: The Red-browed Finch occurs mostly east of the Great Dividing Range, between Cape York in Queensland and the Mount Lofty Ranges in South Australia
Habitat: The Red-browed Finch is found in grassy areas interspersed with dense understorey vegetation, often along creek lines.
Seasonal movements: Largely sedentary.
Feeding: The Red-browed Finch feeds on seeds and insects on the ground, but sometimes perches on seeding grass heads.
Breeding: The nest of the Red-browed Finch is large and domed, with a side tunnel for an entrance. It is a rough construction of twigs and grass stems built in a dense shrub between 1 and 2 metres from the ground. Both parents share nest-building, incubation of the eggs and feeding of the young when they hatch.
Calls: Short, high-pitched whistles.
Minimum Size: 10cm
Maximum Size: 12cm
Average size: 11cm
Average weight: 11g
Breeding season: October to April
Clutch Size: 4 to 5
Incubation: 14 days
Nestling Period: 22 days

The White-browed Fantail (Rhipidura aureola) is a small passerine bird belonging to the family Rhipiduridae.
The adult white-browed fantail is about 18 cm long. It has dark brown upperparts, with white spots on the wings, and whitish underparts. The fan-shaped tail is edged in white, and the long white supercilia meet on the forehead. The throat and eyemask are blackish and border whitish moustachial stripes.
The white-browed fantail breeds across tropical regions of the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. The species ranges from eastern Pakistan to southern Indochina. It is found in forest and other woodland.

Falkland Islands, Pebble Island
Unfortunately strong wind prevented our small plane from taking us to one of the Islands where this Albatross breeds. On several occasions we saw and photographed them from some distance offshore. The Black-browed Albatross are found circumpolar in sub-Antarctic waters and over 200,000 pair nest on small islands off West Falkland.
Sometimes it's best not to be actively searching for birds, but to just sit down and wait. That was certainly the case earlier this week when i was at a local park. Being able to capture some close-ups of a couple Red-browed Finches was my favourite part of the outing.

Another, more distant photograph of the Yorkshire Albatross but this one is my best size comparison with a Gannet. Gannet has almost a six foot wingspan but Black-browed Albatross is almost eight feet, although I think it looks bigger than that in this comparison photo.
When I saw my first Black-browed Albatross in Shetland in 1985, I learned the name as Diomedea melanophris. In those days all of the world's albatrosses were in the genus Diomedea, named after a mythical Greek warrior, Diomedes. After his death from old age his friends were so distraught that they were turned into white seabirds; the Diomedean birds. But DNA analysis has shown that the smaller albatrosses, including Black-browed, are not closely related to the large albatrosses (like Wandering www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/40284141743/in/photolist ) and since 1996, these smaller species have now been placed in the genus Thalassarche. This translates as Commander of the sea. The specific name of Black-browed is melanophris, which simply means black-browed.
