(Thalassarche melanophrys). This is an image I've always wanted to capture. The breeding behaviour of the albatross. These birds are so elegant and their 'eye liner' and plumage is magnificent! These images were taken on The Falkland Islands.
37421+37116 at Lawsings Brow with 1Q83 14.13 Blackpool North - Derby RTC later to fail at Hest Bank due to a coach failure. Friday 23 April 2021.
A juvenile clicked while eating the delicious, juicy, sweet berries of the perennial flowering Lantana plant. These birds are largely olive coloured above with whitish underparts. They have 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 are distinctive. Since this was a young bird it allowed me to approach close and get some good detail.
The red-browed finch is an estrildid finch that inhabits the east coast of Australia. This species has also been introduced to French Polynesia. It is commonly found in temperate forest and dry savannah habitats. It may also be found in dry forest and mangrove habitats in tropical region.
Yellow-browed Bulbuls are found in the Western Ghats, southern India and Sri Lanka. There are three known sub-species and this particular one is the Acritillas Indica Indica that is found in the Western Ghats in Kerala though they are known to frequent the coastal areas too. These birds are found in pairs or small groups and call loudly. They feed mainly on berries and insects.
But once they are airborne they seem to have an effortless means of flight. Black Browed Albatross photographed in the Chilean Fjords.
Clarkesdale. After a while of walking up and down all the little hills, it was nice to come across this family. Last shot from that weekend.... till next time.
These little guys were everywhere our campsite (Lake Elizabeth VIC), and super confident. They are obviously very used to humans and would come within 50cm of your foot if you're still. This fella was perched up on the BBQ plate looking for leftover tidbits...

Mill Brow has been designated as a Conservation Area of special architectural and historic interest. Mill Brow is a small hamlet I struggled to find it on a map.
It has just over fifty dwellings, mostly built of local millstone grit with the Pub Hare and Hounds lying at the centre of the hamlet. From the late medieval period Mill Brow was a community of scattered farms. By the early nineteenth century a dramatic change had occurred with the building of four cotton mills on Mill Beck, the stream flowing through Mill Brow which then became a flourishing industrial centre. With the decline in the importance of water power the mills fell into disuse and today their legacy is best seen in weavers’ and mill workers cottages. Mill Brow has been designated as a Conservation Area of special architectural and historic interest.
The black-browed albatross is very distinctly marked with its black eyebrow, but also the black plumage on both sides of its wings. It is one of the smaller albatross species, with a wingspan of just over 2m.
When searching for food, this species follows a regular flight pattern, somewhat resembling a figure 8. The effortless way it harnesses the wind to glide is amazing to watch. Nary a wingbeat.
At Miriam's Restaurant in the Savegre Valley of Costa Rica there are fruit feeders outside that attract tons of local birds.
When my wife and I arrived there was a large tour group on the patio watching the feeders. One of these birds popped up and otherwise polite birders were elbowing and nearly crawling over each other to get a shot.
We decided to order some lunch (Casado con pollo) and wait for the crowd to clear out. After a very good lunch, and with the place mostly to ourselves, we hung around the feeders and eventually another Chlorophonia showed up.
(Only males have the "golden brow," so this is probably a female)
Always felt that the yellow birds that visited the backyard were the most beautiful, but till some time back there were only the usual Orioles, and then these new and gorgeous visitors arrived. These birds are found in the Western Ghats, southern India and Sri Lanka. There are three known sub-species and this particular one is the Acritillas Indica Indica that is found in the Western Ghats in Kerala though they are known to frequent the coastal areas too. This was clicked just as the bird spotted me at the window.
We came across a variety of birds I don't recognize like this one, so I need to do a google search to find the name...and hope I have it right! Just back from Costa Rica with many photos to look at, and many photos to catch up with.
Our constant companion during our cruise was the Black Browed Albatross its wingspan of up to eight feet. These birds glide with apparent effortless as they wheel around crossing the southern oceans. They also have a long life span of up to 70 years.
Photographed on a very murky day just off the Falkland Islands.

Second trip to Royal Botanical Garden during winter visit in Melbourne. Weather was perfect but unfortunately less birds appeared. Finally got this one when having late lunch break in a garden bench.
"White-Browed Coucal" or Lark-Heeled Cuckoo... Spotted after the heavy morning shower, as I was having my breakfast, and heard its call. It is native to eastern and southern Africa, and the southwestern part of the Arabian Peninsula. A large, robust cuckoo with rufous wings and a long, broad tail, with underparts and back streaked, and has a distinctive white eyebrow. Often moves clumsily on vegetation or walks on the ground foraging for insects.
Red-browed Finch, Neochmia temporalis
≠======================â‰
One of a family that was feeding among the grasses.
Sericornis frontalis
A bird that rarely ventures out from beyond the sticks & scrub where it is often heard and seldom seen. It was thus a nice surprise to have one pose out in the open for a brief moment before returning to the scrub.
Chalk-browed Mockingbird is a mimic like other Mockingbirds, indicative of its intelligence. The individual in this image had to deploy every bit of that resourcefulness, since (as can be seen in a close look) it has lost its left foot. Its adaptability is illustrated by the setting of this photograph, which was a rocky beach on the shores of Guanabara Bay near the international airport in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This species is found only in South America, but is widespread in the eastern part of the continent from Brazil south of the Amazon Basin down to central Argentina.
A pair of black-browed albatrosses do a bit of mutual grooming to strengthen their bond. They will often touch beaks and call, as well. The birds in this colony were nesting alongside rockhopper penguins.
This proved to be one of the more illusive birds on my trip to Costa Rica. Although we saw them twice in the Pacific Lowlands, they kept high up in the trees. Still, even heavily cropped, a beautiful bird.
