The White-browed Wagtail, also known as the Large Pied Wagtail, Motacilla madaraspatensis, is a medium-sized passerine bird in the wagtail family Motacillidae, which also includes the pipits and longclaws. The species name is derived from the Indian city of Madras, which is now known as Chennai.
Distribution and habitat
The White-browed Wagtail is a resident breeder in India and is endemic to the Indian subcontinent. It is found in open freshwater wetland habitats. It is one of the few Motacilla wagtails that has adapted well to urban habitats and is often found perched on overhead water storages in residential buildings.
Taxonomy
This species appears to belong to the white-bellied black-throated superspecies like the White Wagtail. It is most similar in external appearance to the Japanese Wagtail and to Hodgson's Wagtail, a subspecies of the White Wagtail (M. alba alboides). Its song much resembles that of the recently-described Mekong Wagtail, which may or may not be a coincidence. mtDNA cytochrome b and NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 sequence data is not able to robustly resolve the relationships of these birds, especially in respect to the Blue-headed Wagtail and its relatives (Voelker, 2002)
Description
The White-browed Wagtail is the largest species of wagtail at 21 cm length. It is a slender bird, with the characteristic long, constantly wagging tail of its genus. It has black upperparts, head and breast, with a white supercilium and large white wingbar. The rest of the underparts are white. The female has the black coloration less glossy than in the male. Juveniles are brown-grey where the adult is black
Breeding
It builds its cup-shaped nest in a hole in a wall or bank and usually lays three to five eggs.
[edit] Food
Like other wagtails, this species is insectivorous.

On our return journey from South Georgia the albatrosses put on a masterclass of how to fly in winds sometimes gusting to over 100 km per hour - amazing. Taken between South Georgia and the Falkland Islands/Las Malvinas.
The penultimate bird from my dawn chorus at dial-a-bird beach is this White-browed Robin, a resident of tropical Queensland's coastal area and adjacent ranges.
They are a pretty and flighty little bird, and in my view much shyer than the Buff-sided Robin which was once thought to be a subspecies. On behaviour alone, I would have to separate the two.
#263 for my species set.
A pair of White-browed Wagtails, perched near what appears to be a sack made of plastic based material. I do understand that plastic make out lives easier, and that banning plastic altogether may make things more difficult for humans, but careless disposal like what's pictured above can destroy the environment completely. There have been instances of animals ingesting plastic by accident.
Do remember not to throw away non-biodegradable carelessly as we share our environment with other species too.

The Turquoise-browed Motmot is a colourful, medium-sized bird of the motmot family. It inhabits Central America from south-east Mexico, 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.
The bird is approximately 34 cm long and weighs about 65 grams. It has a mostly green 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.
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.
