The White-browed Wagtail or Large Pied Wagtail (Motacilla maderaspatensis) is a medium-sized bird and is the largest member of the wagtail family.
Another from a brief local birding session just down the road from home.
Plenty of flowering shrubs and bushes for these little guys to play around and feed in - but tough to get a clear shot on them as they're so flighty and the bushes fairly densely bunched together!!
Hope you like this!
Hope your weekend was great and this week is just as good!!
The Black-browed Albatross currently (May 2022) resident on the cliffs at RSPB Bempton at Flamborough Head, East Yorkshire. Normally, this species of albatross would be found in the South Atlantic Ocean but this one appears to favour the Yorkshire coast as this is the second year it has spent the summer here, along with many thousands of Gannet, Razorbill, Guillemot, Puffin and other seabirds.
Jilly Cooper has said women should “look up to” men and allow them to assert their masculinity.
Constant put-downs left husbands and boyfriends “brow beaten”, the author of novels such as the racy Riders and Rivals said.
"Oliver Reed was the most sexy man I’ve ever met,” she said.
“Nobody seems to mention the word love any more. They just talk about having sex and women are having babies and not bothering to have husbands any more.”

Candid street shot, Germany--- but it could be anywhere in the world today, That far away stare the fixed focus and selective deafness are classic symptoms.
I had fun with the finches today. These in particular are hard to catch and hard to get close to.. but I managed to focus really well on its breast. with a short Dof. Oh well.. Try and Try again and never give up - ( Im wanting to get the face)
It is not often that we see these birds out in the open...
Thanks for taking the time to stop - I really appreciate your faves and comments.

Black-browed Albatross (Thalassarche melanophris) pair engaging in courtship behavior by rubbing their bills together in what is called scissors behavior. They also mutual preen, use a fantailed and posture to communicate during the mating season. They are know to mate for life. This image was taken on New Island in the Falkland Islands.
The turquoise-browed motmot (Eumomota superciliosa) is a colourful, medium-sized bird of the motmot family, Momotidae. It inhabits Central America from south-east Mexico (mostly the Yucatán Peninsula), to Costa Rica, where it is common and not considered threatened. It lives in fairly open habitats such as forest edge, gallery forest and scrubland. It is more conspicuous than other motmots, often perching in the open on wires and fences. From these perches it scans for prey, such as insects and small reptiles. White eggs (3–6) are laid in a long tunnel nest in an earth bank or sometimes in a quarry or fresh-water well. Its name originates from the turquoise color of its brow.

The bird is approximately 34 cm (13 in) long and weighs about 65 g (2.3 oz). It has a mostly green-blue body with a rufous back and belly. There is a bright blue stripe above the eye and a blue-bordered black patch on the throat. The flight feathers and upperside of the tail are blue. The tips of the tail feathers are shaped like rackets and the bare feather shafts are longer than in other motmots. Although it is often said that motmots pluck the barbs off their tail to create the racketed shape, this is not true; the barbs are weakly attached and fall off due to abrasion with substrates and with routine preening.[2]
Unlike most bird species, where only males express elaborate traits, the turquoise-browed motmot expresses the extraordinary racketed tail in both sexes. Research indicates that the tail has evolved to function differently for the sexes. Males apparently use their tail as a sexual signal, as males with longer tails have greater pairing success and reproductive success.[3] In addition to this function, the tail is used by both sexes in a wag-display, whereby the tail is moved back-and-forth in a pendulous fashion.[4] The wag-display is performed in a context unrelated to mating: both sexes perform the wag-display in the presence of a predator, and the display is thought to confer naturally selected benefits by communicating to the predator that it has been seen and that pursuit will not result in capture. This form of interspecific communication is referred to as a pursuit-deterrent signal.[5]
The call is nasal, croaking and far-carrying.
The turquoise-browed motmot is a well-known bird in its range and has been chosen as the national bird of both El Salvador and Nicaragua. It has acquired a number of local names including guardabarranco ("ravine-guard") in Nicaragua, torogoz in El Salvador (based on its call) and pájaro reloj ("clock bird") in the Yucatán, based on its habit of wagging its tail like a pendulum. In Costa Rica it is known as momoto cejiceleste or the far-less flattering pájaro bobo ("foolish bird"), owing to its tendency to allow humans to come very near it without flying away.
