White-browed Antbird - Myrmoborus leucophrys erythrophrys - Белобровая муравьеловка
Bosque Bavaria, Villavicencio, Meta Department, Colombia, 02/22/2022
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.

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.

White Browed Fantail (Rhipidura aureloa) at Oruthota Chalets, Digana, Sri Lanka. An adult pair, Sub species compressirostris is resident in Sri Lanka.
Woodswallows tend to visit my area during the warmer months. This year numbers seem to be down but there are still a few around, usually in mixed flocks of both White-browed and Masked Woodswallows.
Merry Christmas.... this female has been gracing my observation rock for 5 years now. She turns white like snow when she molts and glows like a light so when I paddle out she is the first thing I see.
Scientific name: Artamus superciliosus
Family: Artamidae
Order: Passeriformes
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.

White-browed Bulbul
The white-browed bulbul (Pycnonotus luteolus) is a member of the bulbul family of passerine birds. It is a resident breeder in Sri Lanka and peninsular India. Largely olive coloured above with whitish underparts, it has a pale supercilium and a yellow vent. They are found in dense scrub habitats, where they skulk within vegetation and can be difficult to see although their loud and distinct burst of calls is distinctive.
The white-browed bulbul is about 20 cm (7.9 in) long, with a moderately long (8 centimetres or 3 inches) tail. It has olive-grey upperparts and whitish underparts. This species is identifiable by the white supercilium, white crescent below the eye, and dark eyestripe and moustachial stripe. The vent is yellowish and there is some yellow on the chin and moustache. The throat is however largely whitish unlike in the similar looking and sounding yellow-throated bulbul which is found in rockier habitats. Three or four hair-like filoplumes are present on the nape. 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. The song is a rich, spluttering warble and the bird is more often heard than seen. P. l. insulae is slightly darker and has a shorter wing than the nominate race.
This species is endemic to southern India and Sri Lanka. The northern boundary is along Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and western West Bengal (near Midnapur). It is found in dry open scrub country mainly on the plains and also occurs in gardens and woodlands with dense shrubbery.
White-browed bulbuls are usually seen singly or in pairs. They forage within bushes for fruit, nectar and insects. The breeding season is spread out from March to September and may possibly breed twice a year. Peaks in breeding occur in February and again in September. The dry season of May to July appears to be avoided for breeding in the Point Calimere region. They build a nest, a loose cup made of twigs, cobwebs and hair placed low in a thick bush and usually on the periphery. Two eggs form the typical clutch. Individuals may live for more than 11 years.
The White-browed Fantail, Rhipidura aureola, is a small passerine bird.
The adult White-browed Fantail is about 18 cm long. It has dark brown upperparts, with white spots on the wings, and whitish underparts. The fan-shaped tail is edged in white, and the long white supercilia meet on the forehead. The throat and eyemask are blackish and border whitish moustachial stripes.
The White-browed Fantail is insectivorous, and often fans its tail as it moves through the undergrowth.
The White-browed Fantail breeds across tropical southern Asia from India and Sri Lanka east to Vietnam. This species is found in forest and other woodland.
