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.
It's not that I am obsessed with red-browed finches (Neochmia temporalis). They were just coincidentally queued so that you got one on a grass stem a few days ago and this one today.
This one was part of a flock feeding on this cropped grassy patch. The light was just too good for me to ignore them. This one? It was very aware of me, careless and quite happy to pose.
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.
White-browed Scrubwren
Sericornis frontalis
Acanthizidae
The White-browed Scrubwren is a drab bird which inhabits the dense undergrowth in many different habitats.
They are also remarkably sedentary, often remaining in the same patch of vegetation.
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.

Second photo is of these cute Red-browed Finches :-) Random thing to note, about a week and a half ago i wrote a list of all the birds i can remember seeing in Tenterfield since i got in to birding, i ended up listing 126 species which is really cool.
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.

Species: A0065
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.

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

Another bird image I took last week - this one from a visit to Walka Water Works, (Maitland, NSW; Australia).

Thanks again for any comments, views or favorites for this or any of my other images -greatly appreciated!!!!
Have an awesome day and weekend!!!!
This photo is unedited, straight off the camera. I know the wing tips are missing but that's the trouble with photographing a bird with an eight foot wingspan. When you get a close-up of the head and body the wingtips are usually beyond the field of view. But there was something appealing about this close, face-on shot, especially with the webbed feet splayed, and even the out-of-focus Gannet in the background. I remember being surprised at the grey, colourless feet of the Shetland Black-browed Albatross I saw back in 1985. But this bird, admittedly much closer, had a slight pink cast to the legs and feet, and look at those small dark spots at the toe joints. That background bokeh is created by Kittiwakes sat on the water three hundred feet below.
I didn't get to photograph a new bird on my birthday this year, but, just two days later, i got that exact opportunity!
Me and my mum went for a quick drive to Mount Mackenzie which is just outside of town. While we were at the lookout, i spotted some birds flying about right in the treetops.
At first i thought they were White-throated Treecreepers which i have seen before, when i checked my bird book at home however, i realized that i had seen Red-browed Treecreepers for the first time!
