Red-browed Finch, Neochmia temporalis
≠===================
They were hunting in the damp grass for the small black wattle seeds that the trees had so bountifully produced.
One of the most colourful and beautiful birds from Costa Rica and one of my favourites.
Seeing and photographing a Quetzal and the Chlorophonia was at top of my wish list. It wasn’t at all easy to find, but finally, on the last day of our stay in Costa Rica, we had the privilege of seeing both, and simultaneously. While we had the splendid Quetzal in front of us, behind us there was a group of Chlorophonia hopping between tree branches. They didn’t allow us many opportunities. The lack of light and the terrain inclination made it very difficult to obtain pictures, but it truly was a unique moment.

Another species that is common in sub-montane elevation. Usually stay high up in the trees but sometimes when there is lower fruiting trees, this bird comes down in numbers. Very difficult to spot in the foliage especially when it is not moving.
(Thalassarche melanophrys). These birds are so elegant and their 'eye liner' and plumage is magnificent! The black-browed albatross is a medium-sized albatross, at 80 to 95 cm (31–37 in) long with a 200 to 240 cm (79–94 in) wingspan and an average weight of 2.9 to 4.7 kg (6.4–10.4 lb). It can have a natural lifespan of over 70 years. It has a dark grey saddle and upperwings that contrast with the white rump, and underparts. The black-browed albatross is circumpolar in the southern oceans, and it breeds on 12 islands throughout that range. In the Atlantic Ocean, it breeds on the Falkland Islands, Islas Diego RamÃrez, and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. These images were taken on The Falkland Islands.

One of Mexico's most beautiful birds is the motmot and I was so pleased to see quite a few of these birds on this trip. In one day I saw 20 at one location. Needless to say I took a lot of photos.
Look at the size of those feet, very useful as an airbrake when coming in to land on the cliffs at a windy RSPB Bempton

Zoom in for a closer look at this bird.
The white-browed wagtail or large pied wagtail (Motacilla maderas patensis) is a medium-sized bird and is the largest member of the wagtail family.
They are conspicuously patterned with black above and white below, a prominent white brow, shoulder stripe and outer tail feathers. They are common in small water bodies and have adapted to urban environments where they often nest on roof tops. The specific name is derived from the Indian city of Madras (now Chennai).
