I took a walk on the property this morning, saw a platypus, lots of turtles, the green possum and baby, the pet goose, and these little red-browed finches, which are nesting in the young pine trees. I didn't see any chicks, but heard them chirping while being fed.
great start to the day...... :-)
I'd like to eventually see all the nuthatches of the world. The latest conquest in my hatchquest was the White-browed Nuthatch. It's endemic to a single mountain in western Myanmar, and certainly ranks as that country's "most wanted" bird. Its habitat is high-elevation oak and pine forest on the mountaintop, where it is surprisingly common for such a globally restricted bird.

I did not have the GPS module fitted for this shot, so the location within the Beagle Channel is approximate.
Sculpt update on Skorr's partner and fellow bounty hunter, Gribbet. - From the Archie Goodwin, Al Williamson comic series, Star Wars: The Bounty Hunter of Ord Mantell. 1:18 scale.
It's all about the head sculpt! I took a creative license on this one and combined both the Williamson comic illustration with what appears to be Doug Wheatley's studies of a species that is strikingly similar, found in the comic series, Star Wars: Dark Times.
Not complete yet, but you see the progression. I started with a blank and built up a skull-like frame to sculpt over. I still need to thicken the brow but want to keep that balance working.
The next step will be to begin building out the body sculpt. That VC Collection Kuiil makes a great frame to sculpt over if you looking to create smaller characters in the 3.75" format.
More to come, as always. Thanks again for your interest!

At first glance I thought they were just sparrows feeding on the ground as the evening sun was providing the back lighting. But upon zooming in, I noticed the beautiful colours on their brows and tails. They flew off as i tried to get closer.

The white-browed fantail (Rhipidura aureola) is a small passerine bird.
The white-browed fantail breeds across tropical regions of the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia. The species ranges from India east to Vietnam, also being seen in Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia and Laos. This Old World flycatcher species is found in forest and other woodland. Three eggs are laid in a small cup nest in a tree.

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. Although it is often said that motmots pluck the barbs off their tail to create the racketed shape, this is not true; the barbs are weakly attached and fall off due to abrasion with substrates and with routine preening.
Unlike most bird species, where only males express elaborate traits, the Turquoise-browed Motmot expresses the extraordinary racketed tail in both sexes. Research indicates that the tail has evolved to function differently for the sexes. Males apparently use their tail as a sexual signal, as males with longer tails have greater pairing success and reproductive success. In addition to this function, the tail is used by both sexes in a wag-display, whereby the tail is moved back-and-forth in a pendulous fashion. The wag-display is performed in a context unrelated to mating: both sexes perform the wag-display in the presence of a predator, and the display is thought to confer naturally selected benefits by communicating to the predator that it has been seen and that pursuit will not result in capture.
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.
