On our last morning in Ngepi camp this bird was right in camp, calling and hopping around on the ground looking for food. When I came by he flew a little bit up into this tree, but not very high, so I could photograph him.

White-browed wagtail is the largest species of wagtail about 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. Unlike white wagtails it never has white on the forehead. The rest of the underparts are white. The female has the black less intense than in the male. Juveniles are like the females brown-grey where the adult is black. They are common in small water bodies and have adapted to urban environments where they often nest on roof tops. The specific name is derived from the Indian city of Madras (now Chennai).

Red-browed Finch
Algemeen (In common):
The Red-browed Finch (Neochmia temporalis) is an estrildid finch that inhabits the east coast of Australia. This species has also been introduced to French Polynesia for breeding. It is commonly found in temperate forest and dry savanna habitats. It may also be found in dry forest and mangrove habitats in tropical region.
Vogelgroep (Taxonomy):
The Red-browed Finch is one of four species in the genus Neochmia. Alternate names include Red-browed Firetail.
There are three noted subspecies: the nominate species N. temporalis temporalis, in most of the east coast, and inland New South Wales and Victoria; N. temporalis minor, which is distinguished by a white breast, in northern Queensland, and south-east of Australia, and N. temporalis loftyi in the south west corner of South Australia, although the latter is sometimes not listed as a subspecies, as the differences between it and the type species are relatively minor.
Veldkenmerken:
The species is distinguished by the bright red stripe above the eye, and bright red rump. The rest of the body is grey, with olive wing coverts and collar. Juveniles do not have red brow marks, and lack olive colouration on the collar and wing coverts. The adults are 11–12 cm long
Geluid (Sound):
The finch makes short, piping high-pitched cheeps. When disturbed, the whole flock will disperse, cheeping, and re-congregate near-by.
Voorkomen (Conservation status):
The finch is common in the south east of its range, from Brisbane to Melbourne . Subspecies N. minor is common between Cooktown and Townsville. The species is listed as "Least Concern" on the IUCN red list. There are no key threatening processes for N. temporalis, although the Pest Animal Control CRC suggests that the introduced Nutmeg Mannikin (Lonchura punctulata), which currently threatens some native Mannikins through increased competition, may be a minor threat to N. lateralis in northern Queensland.
In regional areas the species needs adequate shrub density to provide cover and foraging places. The species has been noted to decline or even disappear in areas that have been cleared or grazed, especially in combination with drought.
Habitat:
The Red-browed Finch is highly sociable, and is usually seen in small flocks of 10 to 20 individuals. Flocks are sedentary or nomadic in their local area. Flocks prefer semi-open woodland, especially edges of forests, where brushy scrub meets cleared areas, especially near creeks.
Voedsel.
N. temporalis is a seed eater, living mostly on grass and sedge seed, but will happily feed on many non-native seeds. Wild birds will even enter large-mesh aviaries in suburban areas to eat seed, given the opportunity.

The White-browed Wagtail or Large Pied Wagtail (Motacilla maderaspatensis) is a medium-sized bird and is the largest member of the wagtail family. They are conspicuously patterned with black above and white below, a prominent white brow, shoulder stripe and outer tail feathers. They are common in small water bodies and have adapted to urban environments where they often nest on roof tops. The specific name is derived from the Indian city of Madras (now Chennai).

The White-browed Wagtail is a resident breeder in India and is endemic to the Indian subcontinent. It is found south of the Himalayas, east of the Indus system and to the west of Bangladesh. It is rare in the higher altitude regions but has been seen in Ladakh on the edge of the Tibetan plateau. In most of India it is found below 1000 m but in southern India it goes up into the hills up to 2200 m. It is very rare in the Indus valley area. It is absent from the Sind region of Pakistan. 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

I understand the Brow Street Methodist Chapel closed 1970/80's and was a fascinating building in an octagonal shape perched on the edge of a small ledge overlooking Maryport Harbour. The pipe organ towered over the congregation perched high up in the gallery. The chapel was demolished and now very little trace remains of this unusual building.
This is a stamp from inside a hymn book of said chapel -any contributions to the group of photos of this chapel would be very welcome!

Black-browed albatross Thalassarche melanophris (adult); New Island; (Falkland/Malvinas Islands); 29 October 2009
The Falklands are the most important breeding area for this species, holding about 70% of its total breeding population; New Island holds about 12000 breeding pairs.
Lots of these juveniles around at the moment. It has been a good breeding season for the Red-broweds with the rainy summer.
This was near the Chaturmukha basadi. Was leaving since had no good sighting of birds, a yellow browed catched my attention. Stayed back to get few shots, ended up with few nice shots of FlyCatcher, LeafBird and two different types of Oriole.
