About Yellow-browed bulbul:
It is mainly yellow on the underside and olive above with a distinct yellow brow. They are easily located by their loud calls but tend to skulk within foliage below the forest canopy.
This bulbul is about 20 cm (7.9 in) long, lacks a crest and has the upperparts olive green with a prominent yellow brow and goggle with the underparts being all yellow. The sexes do not differ in plumage.
White-browed Scrub Wren.
I love these little birds but they're hard to catch because they hide in the bushes or scrub.
Phylloscopus inoratus. A rather poor record shot, but you can just see the diagnostic double wing-bars and yellow eyebrow. They breed in Siberia from the Ural Mountains eastwards and winter in south-east Asia. They used to be quite scarce visitors to Britain, but their numbers have increased dramatically during the last forty years. This pattern has also been recorded across northern and western Europe. There has been much speculation about the cause of their increase in Europe, with some suggesting that they are evolving a new migration route and wintering grounds. The last few years have seen a bit of a dip in numbers, but this year many hundreds arrived in Britain during late September. Most records have been on the east coast with very few inland. I photographed this one inland at Rowntree Park in the centre of York. When I arrived, the bird wasn’t in the location reported so I checked out some woodland nearby and heard it calling. The disyllabic call is quite distinctive xeno-canto.org/935200. It was flitting about in the canopy and only briefly came down to some lower branches where it was still difficult to follow and photograph. Even though it’s a poor shot I thought I’d post it as it’s one of my favourite warblers and a great bird to see in York.

I believe this to be a red-browed finch. This one was only about 5 cm.
First time I have come across one of these. It would seem to me this is a fairly young bird looking at the feathers. This bird was photographed in fading light (iso 800, Shutter 1/30s 400mm, hand held) - so I was quite pleased with the sharpness and clarity. I recently purchased the SAL 70400G lens and my first impressions of this lens is extremely positive (very low noise for iso 800).
The newly fledged youngster still depends on the parent feeding for a while.

We the photographers provided the free food (meal worms) for the parents to feed their young :)
A lucky day for them and for us too:)
Somehow they do not hestitate to take the food we offer, they were used to being fed :)

Bempton Cliffs, Yorkshire, UK. Awesome bird, showed incredibly well putting on an airshow right in front of us. High speed pass.
I see these often, zooming from one hiding place to the next. So feel quite happy whenever find one in the open for a second or few.

The Black-browed Barbet or Müller's Barbet (Megalaima oorti) is a bird belonging to the Asian barbet family, Megalaimidae.
It is 20-23.5 cm long. The plumage is mostly green apart from the head which is patterned with blue, yellow and red. There is a black stripe above the eye. The bill is black and the feet are grey-green. The Chinese name for the bird, "five-colored bird" (五色鳥) refers to the five colors seen on its plumage. Because of its colorful plumage and that its call resembles that of a percussion instrument known as a wooden fish, the species is also referred to as the "spotted monk of the forest" in Taiwan.
