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.
The yellow-browed bulbul (Acritillas indica), or golden-browed bulbul, is a species of songbird in the bulbul family. It is found in the forests of southern India and Sri Lanka.
I posted a front view of this bird earlier on, but this guy is handsome to deserve another view. In this photo you can clearly see the motmot's long graduated bright blue tail, which has the central feathers twice as long as the rest. Although they are reduced to mere shafts over more than half their length, they are ‘capped’ by black-tipped turquoise rackets.
Thalassarche melanophris
Bempton Cliffs, East Yorkshire.
Albert has been the star of Bempton for some weeks now and what an amazing bird it is.

The Black-browed Albatross currently (May 2022) resident on the cliffs at RSPB Bempton at Flamborough Head, East Yorkshire. Normally, this species of albatross would be found in the South Atlantic Ocean but this one appears to favour the Yorkshire coast as this is the second year it has spent the summer here, along with many thousands of Gannet, Razorbill, Guillemot, Puffin and other seabirds.
Found this Red-browed Finch while I was looking for a Yellow-bellied Kingfisher in the Iron Range. It was interesting, it was a family of approximately 15 birds, constantly staying 10-15m in front of me at all times. I kept trying to get a decent image, but as I got close, off they'd go down the track and further away.
When I finally gave up, I was walking along, keeping an eye out and this one popped out right in front of me and gave me a nice pose.

The White-browed Spinetail is a small member of the Furnariidae, easily missed because of its size and its generally inconspicuous lifestyle. These birds keep to dense, low underbrush and bamboo, where they secure their insect food. This is the only member of its genus, whose name honours Carl Hellmayr, an Austrian ornithologist who mostly worked in museums attempting to sort out issues of nomenclature (a challenge even today despite many scientific advances). The bird in this image was seen in a high elevation habitat in Parque Nacional Chingaza, east of Bogota, Colombia, South America.
An interesting cloud formation during sunset gives the impression of a giant eye complete with eyebrow, watching the world go dark.
(Thalassarche melanophrys). This is an image I've always wanted to capture, the courtship behaviour of the albatross. This species normally nests on steep slopes covered with tussock grass and sometimes on cliffs; however, on the Falklands it nests on flat grassland on the coast. They are an annual breeder laying one egg from between 20 September and 1 November. Incubation is done by both sexes and lasts 68 to 71 days. After hatching, the chicks take 120 to 130 days to fledge. Juveniles will return to the colony after two to three years but only to practice courtship rituals, as they start breeding around the 10th year. In the Atlantic Ocean, it breeds on the Falkland Islands, where this image was taken.

The Golden-browed Chlorophonia (Chlorophonia callophrys) (upper left) is a species of bird in the family Fringillidae. It is found in Costa Rica. It is uncommon in subtropical or tropical moist montane forest above 750 m (2,460 ft) elevation.
Here's a view that shows virtually every inch of the huge wingspan of this Black Browed Albatross. Online information details a wingspan of up to almost eight feet.
This species was the one constant seabird we came across on our recent South American holiday. And what could have been better than seeing these birds wheel in the wind.
A male Golden-browed Chlorophonia feeds on the berries of a cavendishia shrub in the Talamanca Mountains. This colourful species is unique to the highlands of Costa Rica and western Panama.
