had bit of an eye brow problem last night.
The planned look didn't workout and this set was just as bad. Sometimes my head isn't in the right place. mostly its on my shoulders but sometimes I can leave it on the sideboard.
Yellow-browed Warbler's 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.
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.
This is a second individual that I chanced upon while at Spurn Point in East Yorkshire in late September.
Bull Brow pre-1851 It is believed that the name of this passage comes from cattle being brought to the nearby slaughterhouses. This pathway led to the River Roch where bull-baiting was a regular attraction until the fatal event of November 8th 1820, which marked the end of this savage pastime in Rochdale
Another photo from my trip last week to Lake Inverell. It was really nice to see a small group of these birds as i hadn't seen them for quite some time. These birds aren't big fans of public places.
This picture has been cropped and brightened up a little bit.
5407 passes Lawsings Brow, near Clapham back in the days when steam along the Little North Western was a regular feature on the " bottom leg" of the Cumbrian Mountains Express
**You say I am loved when I can’t feel a thing
You say I am strong when I think I am weak
You say I am held when I am falling short
When I don’t belong, oh You say I am Yours
And I believe, oh I believe
What You say of me
I believe **

I am very obsessed with thick eyebrows!. Mostly cos my own are rather mangey after years of over plucking. Had I known thick brows rock I would never have plucked my previously super bushy brows!

During our Autumn week at Hillocks Drive on Lower Yorke Peninsula I couldn't help but seek out a few birds... These little scrubwrens are quite inquisitive but they don't hang around for long. Just managed a series of three images which I was pleased with... This is the first....
Sericornis frontalis rosinae - Mount Lofty Ranges White-browed Scrubwren Nangawooka
Fleurieu Peninsula
South Australia
Loica Argentina, White-browed Meadowlark, Leistes superciliaris.
A rare vagrant in Chile
Especie # 1.759

That puzzled me over the last 3 days! This is on the 5th floor open pool and two of these birds were all over the place. So I searched the little wall nursery y'day and found 1 tiny little white ball in the pot that I assumed was an egg only to realize it was a styrofoam ball.
Today I checked between the pots, and there were 4 little eggs! The lockdown (for another 2 weeks) meant this bird could safely nest right next to the pool where all activity is forbidden! I look forward to the chicks now! In 14 days, they will be big and maybe even fly away.
Thanks in advance for your views / comments.
RSPB Bempton Cliffs, East Yorkshire. Albert gliding past his admirers at a distance of a few yards, way too close for my set up, this shot gives detail of his head and bill, showing the tube shaped nostrils.
This I found this beautiful coucal skulking through the grass alongside the Zambezi River... These secretive birds forage for insects, frogs, lizards, mice and other nestlings... They have a lovely bubbling voice, and tend to call mostly in the early mornings...
Yellow Browed Warbler, Hurley, Warickshire. Showing very well..
This bird primarily breeds in the Siberian taiga forests across Russia, and winters in Southeast Asia.
Another image from a visit to Hunter Wetlands Centre (Shortland, NSW; Australia) a week ago.
This colorful little Red-browed Finch obliged by perching on this branch in the direct sunlight allowing this capture - hope you like it!!
**** Best viewed Large on Black!! ****
Have another great day and week everyone - thanks again for any comments, views or favorites for this or any of my other images - greatly appreciated!!!!

Mide 20 cm. y pesa 52 grs. Es pequeña, grisácea clara, con un escamado negro, y presenta una cola larga con bordes blancos.
En el macho adulto la frente y la región inferior es rosa grisáceo claro, y avanza gradualmente a blanco crema en el abdomen. Por encima es gris parduzco, más claro en las coberteras alares mayores. Presenta un escamado negruzco leve en la cara y la parte delantera del cuello y el pecho. En las otras partes el escamado es más abundante. Muestra bastante rufo en el forro de las alas y las bases de las remeras. Las timoneras centrales son grisáceas y las laterales son negruzcas con el borde ancho y la puntas de color blanco. El iris es rojo, el pico y la cera negruzcos, y las patas son de color carne.
La hembra es parecida, pero por debajo muestra muy poco o casi nada de tinte rosado, y un escamado más abundante en la cabeza y el pecho.
Los especímenes juveniles son similares a la hembra adulta, pero presentan más café por debajo y el escamado menos definido. La zona sobre el área loreal es clara. Las plumas del manto exhiben un moteado subterminal anteado. El escamado oscuro es más llamativo, especialmente en las coberteras alares. Info. INBIO
Yellow Browed Bulbul (Iole indica) Sub species guglielmi is a resident of southwest Sri Lanka. An adult. Belongs to Pycnonotidae family. Clicked at Nature Reserve, Sri Lanka
I photographed this Yellow-browed Warbler on the banks of the River Calder near Horbury in West Yorkshire. It was found on Christmas Day and was seen daily until 4th January but I would think it is still around. It often went missing for hours but periodically returned to the same birch tree with a flock of Long-tailed Tits and Goldcrests. I did manage some closer photographs but I opted for this arty backlit shot. I took plenty of frame-fillers at Spurn last autumn so if you want to see a detailed shot here's one: www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/50398119012/in/photolist

At least one Yellow-browed Warbler has occurred in Senegal in December. A few individuals like this spend the whole winter in Britain, which must be a bit of a shock if they are supposed to be in Southeast Asia. I have just had a quick look on BirdGuides and there are about twenty individuals wintering in Britain at the moment, mainly in the south, including 6 in Cornwall and 4 on Scilly. This one in West Yorkshire appears to be the most northerly.
