Nice to see him again. Spent most of the day asleep on the cliff then went well out to sea for a wash and brush up. Late afternoon, he did as predicted and flew back in to the cliff and put on an airshow. Bempton Cliffs, Yorkshire, UK.

The White-browed Wagtail is the largest species of wagtail at 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.

The white-browed woodswallow (Artamus superciliosus) is a medium-sized (~19 cm) passerine bird endemic Australia.[2] The white-browed woodswallow has very distinctive plumage consisting of white brow over a black head with the upper body being a deep blue-grey and with a chestnut under body. The females are paler then the males. The white-browed woodswallow has a bifurcated (divided) tongue like most woodswallows.
White-browed woodswallows are highly nomadic travelling in pairs to flocks from hundred to thousands of birds. They often wander irregularly around inland Australia, usually heading north for winter in the Northern Territory and central Queensland, and south in spring for nesting. White-browed woodswallows regularly associate with flocks of the masked woodswallows.

"Brow" pronounced "brew" historically around these parts but I think fewer people use that these days. I remember my Hydonian Grandmother referring to what a young me thought was "Church Bruise".

White-browed Scrubwren, Sericornis frontalis
Coming down from Evans Lookout, where the track meets the Grose there were plenty of these scrubwrens flitting around. They were looking for crumbs dropped by snacking walkers. I was keen to photograph them because I only have one previous shot of them. The complicating factors were the low light level, and my two-year old son who insisted on holding my finger -- so I was shooting one-handed.
