White-browed fantail -Rhipidura aureola, in the grounds of one of the hotels I stayed at in 3030 on my second trip to Sri Lanka.Taken on my a99 II and Sal 70-400mm G SSM II, both of which I have now sold along with my a77 II and A-mount lenses.
New sony system arrives tomorrow and my next trip is in February.
New bird! Very similar to the buff-sided but in monochrome. There were a few of these feisty, little robins being quite vocal around the campground. Doesn't look too shabby for 6400ISO!
Small bird, plump and compact with stout bill. Male and female both lime green with yellow belly and blue cap. Males have prominent yellow eyebrow. Usually seen in pairs or small flocks, often in association with a fruiting tree. Forages at all levels, most frequently the canopy. Listen for its single low-pitched whistle.
This stocky, long tailed bird with its distinctive eye streak is more slender and longer necked than a thrush but has a similar vocal mastery, being an accomplished mimic.
Mide 34 cm. y pesa 65 grs. Es relativamente pequeño, con un patrón muy llamativo. La cola presenta raquetas grandes al final del raquis desnudo y largo.
Los adultos presentan una máscara angosta negra que se extiende hasta los auriculares, la ceja larga y la lista angosta por debajo de la parte anterior de la máscara de color turquesa claro. El centro de la garganta es negro con un lista turquesa a los lados. El centro de la espalda y la zona possterior del área detrás del ojo es de color rufo. El abdomen es rufo canela pálido y el resto de la cabeza, el cuello y el cuerpo es verde oliváceo, con la coronilla más oscura. Las remeras y las timoneras e incluso las raquetas son verde azulado claro con la punta negra conspicua. El pico y las patas son negras.
Los ejemplares juveniles presentan la coronilla verde azulado fusco con las puntas de las plumas más claras. La ceja es turquesa, muy corta y angosta. El verde del cuerpo es más azulado y menos oliváceo. Presenta muy poco o nada de rufo en la espalda y no presenta negro y turquesa en la garganta. El abdomen es más claro y opaco, y las timoneras, incluso las raquetas, son más angostas y opacas.
This small warblerlike bird is rich cinnamon below and gray above. The namesake rufous brow is fairly obvious but blends into the face. Bill is sharply pointed. Sexes alike. Singles or pairs are uncommon in shrubby woodlands and edges in northern Colombia and extreme western Venezuela.
This one was photographed in Colombia guided by Neotropic Photo Tours.
Pomatostomidae (Pomatostomus superciliosus)
I had a 600km round trip to spend 4Hrs taking photos in one of my favorite spots.
White-browed fantail - Rhipidura aureola, this and the previous shot were taken near to the Elephant camp, within Pench national park.
This guy made my head explode trying to ID him. I am not sure I have properly identified. Please if YOU know the ID of this guy let me know.
I've finally got round to visiting a few 'celebrity' birds this year with the latest being the black-browed albatross at RSPB Bempton Cliffs. It took a couple of visits but it was well worth the wait, what a bird!
wishing everyone a beautiful & lovely weekend...

There must have been more sunlit shots collectively taken of Arten Gill viaduct on the eastern side in the past two weeks than there have been over the duration of very many years past. From this angle, the last occasion for me was over twenty-one years ago, so I was very happy to obtain this on Friday 31st July 2020. Locomotive Services Ltd.'s D6817 (37521) leads (with 47593 on the rear) the 1Z40 08:35 Skipton to Appleby Rail Charter Services 'Settle & Carlisle Tourist Train' over Arten Gill viaduct, viewed from Stonehouse Brow on the Dent Fell.

Sharing a habitat with the Crimson Finches already posted recently, these common east-coast seed-eaters can't be mistaken for them,due to their red patches which are much less extensive than their neighbours.
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.
