Black-browed albatross nest of the cliff edges of some of the Falkland Islands, mostly in areas untouched by the sheep.
They are monogamous, raising one chick a year. The egg is incubated for 70 days, and the chick fledges at about 120 days.
The mud nests are re-used each year creating a mosaic of mounds all just outside pecking distance of each other.
Es war Zufall und ein großes Glück, den Schwarzbrauenalbatros zu sehen als er sich ein paar Tage am Rantumbecken (Sylt) aufhielt. Bei den Sichtungen schwamm er mehrere hundert Meter entfernt und war mit bloßem Auge nicht von einer Möwe zu unterscheiden. Als er sich dann plötzlich in die Luft schwang und nur wenige Meter entfernt auf Augenhöhe vorbei segelte, war das ein unbeschreibliches Gefühl. So schnell war die Kamera nicht auf die geänderten Situationen umzustellen. Es gibt Erlebnisse, die auch ohne das perfekte Foto wundervoll sind. Zur Erinnerung an diesen ganz besonderen und perfekten Moment... steht diese unperfekte / unscharfe Aufnahme :)
Did a birding session with long time friend and fellow flickr photographer Joe Micallef yesterday at Walka Water Works (Maitland;, NSW; Australia) with my new crop camera - Canon 7D Mkii.
Spotted this colorful little bird having a feed on the flower.
Quite happy with the results - hope you agree.
Have a wonderful day and weekend ahead!!
Thanks always for any comments, views or favorites - very much appreciated!!!

Tanzania - I have just returned from a wonderful trip to the Serengeti in Tanzania. The birds were plentiful. This is a picture of the white-browed coucal (Centropus superciliosus), a species of cuckoo that is widespread and common in many african countries.
I know that I said that I didn't share more pictures of Brow without her wig... But yesterday... I changed Darla's wig and I tried this wig on Brow and well... I LOVE HER!!!!

As you can notice, these days I'm doing some changes in some of my girls... Yes, I have many time to be bored! I'll show you the new Darla soon!

White-browed Scrubwren
Scientific Name: Sericornis frontalis
Description: White-browed Scrubwrens are mostly dark olive-brown above, while the throat is buff grey and the flanks, belly and rump are dull rufous. They have a white line above the eye and another below the eye. The area around the eye between the lines is black, becoming greyer near the ear. The eye is light cream. Males and females are similar, but the females are slightly duller, particularly on the face. Subtropical and tropical populations are more yellow underneath, males having an almost black facial mask. Other populations along the southern coastline have dark streaking on the throat. Young White-browed Scrubwrens are similar to the adults, but are generally duller, with more chocolate-brown backs and duskier faces.
Similar species: The Large-billed Scrubwren, Sericornis magnirostris, shares part of its range with the White-browed Scrubwren. It is lighter, largely uniform brown in colour and lacks any markings on the face. The larger Yellow-throated Scrubwren, S. citreogularis, has a red-brown eye, is darker on the face and has a yellow wash on the throat, eyebrow and wings.
Distribution: The White-browed Scrubwren is the most common and widespread of Australia's five species of scrubwren. Its range extends from northern Queensland, in a broad coastal band through South Australia to the mid Western Australian coast, and Tasmania.
Habitat: The White-browed Scrubwren lives in rainforest, open forest, woodland and heaths. It is usually seen in pairs, low down in the thick vegetation.
What does it do?
Feeding: White-browed Scrubwrens feed mostly on insects and other small arthropods. Occasionally, they eat some seeds. Birds feed in pairs among the thick vegetation of the forest floor.
Breeding: The nest of the White-browed Scrubwren consists of a large ball of grasses and other plant material, a side entrance tunnel leading to a cup lined with feathers. This is normally located on or near to the ground, in thick vegetation, but may be in a tree fork a few metres high. The eggs are pale blue to pale purple and are spotted with brown at the base.
Calls: The call is an almost persistent harsh chattering of scalding notes, especially when disturbed. White-browed Scrubwrens are also accomplished mimics.
Minimum Size: 11cm
Maximum Size: 13cm
Average size: 12cm
Average weight: 12g
Breeding season: July to January

The Turquoise-browed Motmot is surely one of the most flamboyantly plumaged of a remarkable family, and it is sufficiently distinctive from other motmots to be afforded its own genus. Given its relatively small range, in the Yucatán Peninsula of eastern Mexico and northernmost Guatemala, and on the Pacific slope of Middle America, from southern Mexico south to northwest Costa Rica, it might seem remarkable that as many as seven subspecies are generally recognized. Virtually all of them have largely olive-green underparts with a cinnamon or rufous belly, and a darker reddish patch on the mantle, but the most eye-catching features are the turquoise flash in the flight feathers, the similarly colored eyebrow contrasting with the black mask, and the long graduated bright blue tail, which has the central feathers twice as long as the rest. Although they are reduced to mere shafts over more than half their length, they are ‘capped’ by black-tipped turquoise rackets. The dark bill is relatively long and slightly decurved.
