"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.

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.

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.
Seen at Marc Newman's place at Ballandean. Marc and Jan have many of these beautiful birds visiting them.
The Red-browed Firetail occurs mostly east of the Great Dividing Range, between Cape York in Queensland and the Mount Lofty Ranges in South Australia. It grows to 10-12cm.
This Chalk-browed Mockingbird was perched on the trunk of a tree species that had unusual projections of bark.
This was at the entrance to Parque Nacional El Palmar in the province of Entre Rios, Argentina, South America.
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.
Thalassarche melanophris
Bempton Cliffs, Yorkshire
Taken on its 100th day at Bempton this year, last year arrived later and stayed until early September.. This Albatross is believed to have lived in Europe since 2014, when he is likely to have been blown off course and left unable to return to his breeding grounds in the South Atlantic. It has now spent at least part of its summer amongst the Bempton Gannet colony on 4 occasions first visting in 2017.
Although vagrancies from the South Atlantic are rare, on several occasions a Black-browed albatross has summered in Scottish gannet colonies. A similar incident took place in the gannet colony in the Faroe Islands island of Mykines, where a black-browed albatross lived among the gannets for over 30 years. In July 2013 the first sighting of a Black-browed albatross in the Bahamas was recorded.
The Black-browed albatross feeds on fish, squid, crustaceans, carrion, and fishery discards. This species has been observed stealing food from other species. It can have a natural lifespan of over 70 years.

Some territory invaders go to great lengths to remain safe from attack :-)
This Scrubbie was determined to move on the intruder.
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
Incubation: 14 days
Nestling Period: 22 days

452) Yellow Browed Warbler
Yellow-Browed Warbler, Phylloscopus inornatus, Cekup Daun Rimba
This warbler is strongly migratory and winters mainly in tropical South Asia and Southeast Asia. Like many other leaf warblers, it has overall greenish upperparts and white underparts. It also has prominent double wing bars formed by yellowish-white tips to the wing covert feathers, yellow-margined tertial feathers, and long yellow supercilium. Like most warblers, it is insectivorous.
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.

The rufous-browed flycatcher (Anthipes solitaris) is a species of bird in the family Muscicapidae. It is native to Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It was formerly placed in the genus Ficedula.[1]
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.

I've finally got round to visiting a few 'celebrity' birds this year with the latest being the black-browed albatross at RSPB Bempton Cliffs. It took a couple of visits but it was well worth the wait, what a bird!
The snowy-browed flycatcher is a species of bird in the family Muscicapidae. It is found in Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, the Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.
Scientific name: Ficedula hyperythra
This is one of many Chalk-browed Mockingbirds we encountered during our Pantanal trip this month. They seemed to be pretty curious birds much like our Northern Mockingbirds here at home.

Lots of these little birds hard at work among the native grasses going to seed.
