Red-browed Finch, Neochmia temporalis
≠======================≠
One of a family that was feeding among the grasses.
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.

With apologies to Bobby Darin— if anyone remembers
A Finch family came down into the water feature to bathe. I expected it would be a quick splash and dash, but some settled in for a long soak. This one splayed out its tail for exta beauty.
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.
White-browed Scrubwren
≠===================≠
Some territory invaders go to great lengths to remain safe from attack :-)
This Scrubbie was determined to move on the intruder.
While participating in the Aussie Bird Count, I came across this little beauty. Hopefully I identified it correctly.

Came across a family of Finches working in a newly sprouted bean patch.
Then I realised they were helping themselves to the fresh bean shoots.

Spectacular motmot of tropical lowlands, mainly in drier areas. Favors dry forest and edge, semiopen areas with scattered trees, gardens. One of the more conspicuous motmots, especially in spring, when often perches on roadside wires and on open branches. Plumage distinctive, with turquoise brow, turquoise-blue wings and tail with big rackets. Nests colonially at cenotes (sacred wells) in some Maya ruins of the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico; motmot nests are burrows dug in banks, like a kingfisher.

Thalassarche melanophris and Morus bassanus
Flying over Staple Newk Gannet breeding colony. Sad to see the dead gannet below, and the remnants of fishing nets that the gannets pick up for nesting material.
The gannet has possibly died from the bird flu outbreak that is currently affecting UK seabird colonies.
White-browed Scrubwren
I was walking along a well used footpath, when the Scrubwren jumped out in the open and hunted among the leaflitter. It seemed to have no fear of people passing by on the footpath.
Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.
Red-browed Finch
Scientific Name: Neochmia temporalis
Description: The Red-browed Finch is most easily recognised by its bright red eyebrow, rump and beak, on an otherwise green and grey bird. Upperparts are olive green with grey underneath. Both sexes are similar in appearance. Often observed in small flocks, which feed on the grass. They will fly into dense undergrowth when disturbed by a passer-by. Red-browed Finches may also be called Red-browed Firetails.
Similar species: Silvereye
Distribution: The Red-browed Finch occurs mostly east of the Great Dividing Range, between Cape York in Queensland and the Mount Lofty Ranges in South Australia
Habitat: The Red-browed Finch is found in grassy areas interspersed with dense understorey vegetation, often along creek lines.
Seasonal movements: Largely sedentary.
Feeding: The Red-browed Finch feeds on seeds and insects on the ground, but sometimes perches on seeding grass heads.
Breeding: The nest of the Red-browed Finch is large and domed, with a side tunnel for an entrance. It is a rough construction of twigs and grass stems built in a dense shrub between 1 and 2 metres from the ground. Both parents share nest-building, incubation of the eggs and feeding of the young when they hatch.
Calls: Short, high-pitched whistles.
Minimum Size: 10cm
Maximum Size: 12cm
Average size: 11cm
Average weight: 11g
Breeding season: October to April
Clutch Size: 4 to 5

Seen at Marc Newman's place at Ballandean. Marc and Jan have many of these beautiful birds visiting them.

There must have been more sunlit shots collectively taken of Arten Gill viaduct on the eastern side in the past two weeks than there have been over the duration of very many years past. From this angle, the last occasion for me was over twenty-one years ago, so I was very happy to obtain this on Friday 31st July 2020. Locomotive Services Ltd.'s D6817 (37521) leads (with 47593 on the rear) the 1Z40 08:35 Skipton to Appleby Rail Charter Services 'Settle & Carlisle Tourist Train' over Arten Gill viaduct, viewed from Stonehouse Brow on the Dent Fell.

This is Albert the solitary Black-browed Albatross that became famous for visiting Bempton Cliffs for many summers between 2014 and 2022.
We'd taken a boat trip to photograph diving Gannets just offshore from Bempton Cliffs when Albert made a surprise and most welcome appearance. It was a pretty grey day so this isn't the best of shots but it serves as a nice reminder of our close encounter with him.
As always, thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.

Black-browed Tit (Aegithalos bonvaloti) is a relative of our Long-tailed Tit that is only found in China and northern Myanmar. Last year I published a photograph of a hybrid between Black-browed Tit and Sooty Tit, but at that time I hadn't managed to take a photograph of the Black-browed Tit, and there were very few on Flickr at that time. But this year I managed a photo so here it is. I have posted the other parent species (Sooty Tit) and the hybrid again in the comments below for interest. This Black-browed Tit was photographed at Labahe in Sichuan, China.
