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.
While out doing a spot of birding, this White-browed Scrubwren landed on a nearby rock just long enough for me to squeeze off a few frames.

A Mountain Bike rider crests a brow while descending the 'Spooky Wood' trail at Glentress Forest near Peebles in Scotland. The whole area is run by the Forestry Commission Scotland and is a mecca for mountain bike afficiandos looking for something challenging as well as scenic.
The Spooky Wood trail is approximately 1.5km long packed full of berms (an artificial ridge or embankment), challenging jumps and rock features and is one part of the longer 'Red Route' of 19km made up of several individual trails. Spooky Wood is claimed as one of the best in the world for it's fun factor.
There are a selection of routes available at Glentress depending on your skill (and bravery!) starting with the very easy Green routes, up through Blue, then Red and finally the ultimate Black routes (not for the faint hearted!)

My first photo uploaded to flickr in over a month! Things really are busy.
I was on the Wollongong pelagics over the past weekend and despite them being the worst winter pelagics I've ever done from a bird standpoint, they were memorable in every other way.
Cetaceans were pretty amazing. Over the two days, we had both Common and Ocean Bottlenose Dolphins bow-riding, about 8 or 9 Humpback Whales around the boat for about half an hour, including down to about 3m from the side of the boat, an Australian Fur Seal which popped up right next to the boat and spent the next half hour stretching, and a possible False Killer Whale that only I got onto. Not many people can say they have been sprayed by the blow of a whale surfacing right next to the boat!
In addition, we also had a film crew complete with actor on board, which just added to the entertainment :)
This was taken with a friends camera (I lent her my 1D for the weekend). These albatrosses, both about 3-4 years of age, were getting quite personal with each other, hanging out close together and even touching bills at some stages. Such behaviour is rare in albatrosses at sea away from their breeding grounds.

The White-browed Woodswallow is an Australian native bird. The White-browed Woodswallow is a dark bird with a distinctive white eyebrow. The face and chin are black, the upperparts are deep blue grey and the lower breast to undertail is a rich chestnut brown. The underwings and undertail are pale whitish-grey, with white tail tips. Females are duller than males, with a browner body and pink to fawn underparts. Young birds are mainly brown, mottled and streaked buff to cream, and lack the white brow. This species is colonial and travels in large flocks that roost together in tight clusters.
The White-browed Woodswallow is the most 'colourful' of the woodswallows, which tend to be more subtle greys and browns, and the chestnut brown chest contrasts strongly with the pale underwings in flight. Often travels with Masked Woodswallows, A. personatus.
The White-browed Woodswallow is widespread throughout eastern Australia, with some vagrants to northern Tasmania. It is not found on Cape York Peninsula and is only irregularly found in Western Australia.The Dusky Woodswallow is found in open forests and woodlands, and may be seen along roadsides and on golf courses.
The White-browed Woodswallow is found in a wide range of inland habitats, from eucalypt forests and woodlands to dry heaths and spinifex. It can also be found in farmlands, orchards and towns.
The White-browed Woodswallow eats insects, catching them on the wing or foraging in foliage or on the ground. Like other woodswallows, this species has a divided, brush-tipped tongue that can be used to feed on nectar from flowers.
T he White-browed Woodswallow builds a loose shallow nest from twigs, grasses and roots, which is placed in a tree fork, hollow stump or fence post, about 1 m to 6 m above the ground. Both sexes build the nest, incubate the eggs and feed the young.
