Yellow-Browed Warblers usually over winter in Asia and spend the summer in Siberia so this 10cm long ball of fluffy feathers has made a trip of over 3000 miles!
This one was feeding on small flying insects and was accompanied by a Goldcrest. Both of which were flying in a nervous, jerky way so capturing an image was not easy.
The undergrowth of this urban bushland, Shepherd's Bush, is very disturbed but there were large numbers of fast moving finches and wrens flitting around. I was lucky enough to get this photo though had to crop to get close up. My Australian Bird book tells me this is a Red browed Finch, but please let me know if that may be incorrect.
The Rufous-browed Flycatcher is a species of bird in the Muscicapidae family. It is found in Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests

Turquoise-browed Motmot seen near Puerto Morelos, Mexico. From the rich palate of colors of its plumage to that really unusual pair of tail feathers, this is one of those birds that stops you in your tracks when you see it. So what’s with those two long tail feathers and why the peculiar wagging motion? It turns out that they use them to signal a predator that it's been spotted and that it’s not worth its effort to try to catch them because the Motmot will have taken flight before it gets close enough to do the bird any harm. That’s very useful because a vital part of a bird’s daily existence is endlessly balancing the amount of energy it expends with the calories its able to consume. Letting a predator know that it’s been seen and therefore has lost the element of surprise minimizes the number of times a Motmot has to take flight to avoid an attack that was going to fail anyway. This leaves more fuel in its tank for other activities it needs to perform for the survival of the species, such as reproducing. And, in the case of the Motmot, reproduction is no simple matter. In the fall, during the rainy season, the male and female take turns digging a tunnel six feet long in the dirt. The following spring they’ll come back to the tunnel to lay their eggs. This approach has two advantages. First, the soil is softer and easier to dig during the fall and, second, when they return to lay their eggs months later the tunnel won’t be freshly dug and therefore less attractive to predators. Motmots are not only incredibly good looking, but pretty clever as well!
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. IMG_4808guard.JPG

The White-browed Bulbul is about 20 cm (7 inches) in length, with a long tail. It has olive-grey upperparts and whitish underparts. This species is identified by the white supercilium, white crescent below the eye, and dark eyestripe and moustachial stripe. Sexes are similar in plumage. It is usually detected by the burst of song that it produces from the top of a bush and often dives into the bush becoming difficult to see.
Gestreepte Vleiloerie
(Centropus superciliosus)
The white-browed coucal or lark-heeled cuckoo (Centropus superciliosus), is a species of cuckoo in the Cuculidae family. It is found in sub-Saharan Africa. It inhabits areas with thick cover afforded by rank undergrowth and scrub, including in suitable coastal regions. Burchell's coucal is sometimes considered a subspecies.
The white-browed coucal is a medium-sized species growing to 36 to 42 cm (14 to 17 in) in length. The sexes are similar, adults having a blackish crown and nape, a white supercilium, rufous-brown back, chestnut wings, blackish rump and black tail, glossed with green, with a white tip. The underparts are creamy-white, the eyes red, the beak black, and the legs and feet greyish-black or black. Juveniles have rufous streaking on the crown, a faint buff supercilium, barred upper parts and darker underparts.
The white-browed coucal is native to eastern and southern Africa, and the southwestern part of the Arabian Peninsula. Its range includes Angola, Botswana, Burundi, Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Namibia, Rwanda, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe in Africa, as well as Saudi Arabia and Yemen. It is a common species with a very wide range and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has listed it as a "least-concern species".

I did a short portrait shoot with an old friend. Kyle came for a visit so we headed down to the Mountain brow to shoot some pics.
A few more shots from the weekend's pelagic trip out of Sydney - this one of a Black-browed Albatross riding the swells.

A Black-browed Albatross (Thalassarche melanophrys) on the wing southwest of the Falkland Islands on December 18th, 2024.
Barrow, Alaska, was practically nonexistent sixty years ago when my father was stationed at Point Barrow; but even then Browers Cafe was ancient. Originally built as a whaling station in the Nineteenth Century, it was a general store during my dad's time there.
These days, it's a very nice restaurant where I had a cheeseburger which was excellent verging on spectacular, and some Chinese dumplings which weren't quite so much.
Out back of the restaurant, on a long beach running down to the Arctic Ocean, are the skeletons of two whaling boats and one (partial) whale.
Looking up, towards the original chapel, which gave Chapel Brow it's name. ( Now Nat West Bank )
On the left, can be seen the glass globes, for the gas lights, on the front of the Co-op. Only Sutcliffe's jewellers had electricity....they generate their own !
Looking onto Everton Brow from the ridge. The City was going through a misty stage during early February.
The red block sits on a plot previously occupied by flats, these went around 2000 give or take (not too sure there!).
Everton Brow is one of the older routes in the area, linking the old village to the river.
