A very welcome lifer! For some reason I thought I would never see one of these. We came across a pair at Girraween national park.
Thanks very much for your views, faves and comments.

I was surprised that out of 4 species I'd captured at Jiangfungling Forest Park in China; 3 of them are on the ABA checklist.
"This warbler is strongly migratory and winters mainly in tropical South Asia and South-east Asia..." Wikipedia.
Over the past two weeks I was able to observe a White Browed Wagtail and her nest. Spent a few minutes daily to peek into the nest while the mother was away. Y'day the first chick hatched and it was such a delight.
I made a short video of my observations from the last two weeks. What do you think?
Thanks in advance for your views / comments.
The wife told me to take the dogs out, I wanted to go out with my camera. I wasn't winning this arguement, rarely do, so I took the dogs and the camera up Butts Brow.
Butts Brow is where the South Downs end at their eastern edge where they crest and drop to the levels at Eastbourne,
Crypturellus transfasciatus
Our incredible run of luck with Tinamous continued with the arrival of this Pale-browed.
Another bird of the Tumbesian region, it is believed to be undergoing fairly rapid population declines, though as with many birds of this region, it is poorly known.
Shortly after dawn was it's favourite time to come for food...
The colorful Turquoise-browed Motmot with its striking long tail feathers is one of the most beautiful birds of Costa Rica. They rival the Quetzals in their glorious colors, and are certainly easier to find.
Motmots don't build their nest in trees, but in an earth hole on a steep slope. They are related to the kingfishers and are only found in the Neotropics.
It was more than thirty years ago when I first saw a Black-browed Albatross; A lost individual that resided in a Gannet breeding colony on the Shetland Isles. This one was photographed off the Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic where they breed in good numbers. Many albatrosses have suffered recently by becoming entangled in the hooks of long line fishing boats. These hooked lines can be several kilometres long and attracted by the captured fish, entangled albatrosses can be dead or mortally wounded by the time they are reeled into the fishing vessel. Because albatrosses are so long-lived (over 70 years!) and slow-breeding, the loss of adult birds has led to a serious population decline in many species, including the Black-browed. Experiments with heavier lures that do not float have had some success. Black-browed is one of the smaller albatrosses with a wingspan of just 2 to 2.4 metres.
This little finch grows to about 11.5 cm, and is widespread along coastal and south-east Australia.
These ones were seen close to the main entrance of O'Reilly's Rainforest Retreat in Lamington National Park.

Gardening when we discovered White-browed Scrub Wren had set up a nest in the Passionfruit and Kiwi Fruit vines over the pergola. Left them alone when we realised :)
They're supposed to nest in scrub on the ground but this would be safer!
Thalassarche melanophris
This one is an adult. I was slightly surprised that the Black-browed was not easily the most numerous Albatross that we saw..... that honour went to Salvin's !
The White-browed Scrubwren (Sericornis frontalis) is a small, active bird native to eastern and southern Australia, recognized for its distinctive white eyebrow and olive-brown plumage. Inhabiting dense undergrowth in forests, woodlands, and gardens, this scrappy bird is often seen flitting close to the ground, searching for insects and other small invertebrates. Its inquisitive nature and loud, sharp calls make it a lively presence in its habitat. The White-browed Scrubwren's subtle yet striking appearance, marked by the contrasting white brow and its busy foraging behavior, make it an intriguing subject for photographers and bird enthusiasts.
Like the Yellow Thornbill I posted last week, these birds are breeding at the moment. Likewise, the Cuckoos are back in town and are looking for suitable hosts.
This Scrubwren has a nest nearby. I was actually following the call of the Shining Bronze-Cuckoo below, which put me on to the Scrubwrens. There were two Cuckoos in the area.
China, Zhangjiarjei National forest park.
Currently in Hong Kong where Google and Flickr aren't blocked by the government (not sure what is so subversive about Flickr??)
It is still difficult to find and photograph birds in China, it is difficult to access rural spaces, but when you can it can be quite rewarding.
I saw one of these on our trip last year and got a rubbish shot, but this year I've seen probably over 100, so it just seems to be 'locally common'.
Hi!!
We made these and would love it for you to try a demo!
You have a lot of options with these brows.
You get each brow in an individual BoM Layer. You can decide the color of the Left and Right.
A set of Black brows and a set of tintable brows.
I hope you really like these! The possibilities are almost endless!
Have fun!
