Yes, this is Albert taken near Bempton Cliffs last year on a rather gloomy day.
After being blown off course from the South Atlantic a few years ago, Albert has spent most of his time in the Baltic Sea around Denmark and Germany and made regular visits to Bempton Cliffs. As far as I'm aware though he didn't put in an appearance at Bempton this year.
As always, thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.
Neochmia temporalis. Jerrabomberra Wetlands. ACT. I thought she was making up her mind to fly away, but she was after the seed..... then she flew away.
(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.
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.
Albert (if he is male?) was showing well on my first day at Bempton Cliffs, but keeping low over the water. My main issue was fitting him all in frame with that huge wingspan.
So not my best shot, but at least you can tell what he is! It is quite amazing to think this bird would normally only be found in the Southern Hemisphere and is thousands of miles off track. Seems to be doing all right though!
But once they are airborne they seem to have an effortless means of flight. Black Browed Albatross photographed in the Chilean Fjords.
During our short holiday in England we visited the Forest of Bowland for 2 days. We passed by a lot of fields with sheep. We enjoyed this wunderful moorland during our walking and driving through the area. Somewhere alongside Spen Brow, Fairheath Road or Lowgill Lane. Forest of Bowland, 2023.
Again, I would like to thank everyone for your support, views, faves and comments!
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...
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.

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.
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.
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.
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)
Chalk-browed Mockingbird is a typical member of the Mimidae: alert, inquisitive, and vocal.
This bird was seen near the small city of Campana, which is near the metropolis of Buenos Aires, Argentina, South America.
Motmots have always been among my favorite birds. Their colours are absolutely stunning! The Turquoise-browed Motmot is found from the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico down to Costa Rica. I recently returned from a trip to the Yucatan region of Mexico, where I had an amazing time photographing this individual which I would find in the same area almost every day. What a beautiful bird!
The Black-browed Albatross currently resident of RSPB Bempton Cliffs on Flamborough Head, East Yorkshire.
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.

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.
