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....
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
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. 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.
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.

Captured at Hiyare Nature reserve, Sri Lanka
Thalassarche melanophris
My second visit to Bempton RSPB reserve. After briefish views of the Green Warbler, we spent a couple of hours with the star bird :)
After flying out to sea, and teasing us with half an hour of cruising up and down views distantly, it finally came in towards the cliff, and gave a command performance!

Found a folder of shots on an iPad that I hardly ever use. Taken to Costa Rica to download my shots from the day's shooting to edit and save, the miserable storage was full after Day I! I gave it up as a bad joke and then forgot I had them.
This is the common motmot of the Northern Pacific lowlands and foothills. Inhabits dry and humid forests, forest edges and even tree-lined roadsides.
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.
Ever wanted to look as snatched as Spock? Same. Don't worry, I got your back. ;)

Thalassarche melanophris
This vagrant albatross had been living in the Baltic Seas around Denmark and Germany since 2014 after being blown off course from the South Atlantic ocean.
After visiting Bempton Cliffs in the summer of 2017, and for the last 3 successive summers, this Albatross failed to visit Bempton this summer. This photo one of its last days at the cliffs from 2022.
Perhaps it has, with favourable winds, found its way back to its natural homelands south of the equator, or perhaps he is in his adopted Baltic winter home still, and may turn up again next year.
Neochmia temporalis. Seen at Woodlands Historic Park, Greenvale, Victoria, Australia.

We had a fantastic first day of our Costa Rica trip today. Even though it was mostly a travel day we spent the late afternoon birding around the Jaco area and had an impressive (at least to me) number of birds. It was difficult to pick a highlight with species like Double-striped Thick-Knee, King Vulture, Turquoise-browed Motmot, Nutting’s Flycatcher, Rose-throated Becard, Yellow-green Vireo, White-collared Seedeater, Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl, Black-and-white Owl, Pacific Screech-Owl, Scarlet Macaw, Stripe-headed Sparrow and many others. Everyone took a ton of photos and I am much too tired to go through them all but I did want to share something so here is a Turquoise-browed Motmot from this afternoon. Hopefully we can get more in the morning in better light. We are all definitely excited about the rest of the trip.

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.
