A different/2nd bird to visit my garden in the East Lancashire Pennines in the last 3 days. Gobsmacked!!
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.
Butts Brow / July 10th
Two trees huddled together on top of the South Downs, watching the night draw in.
Currently there are 178 photographs of this individual Black-browed Albatross on Birdguides and most of these photographs look pretty much the same (flying with a sea/sky background). Now I know this photograph is cluttered, and it isn't a competition winner, but it is a bit different. First it shows the Albatross flying over the Gannet colony on Staple Neuk at Bempton. Black-browed Albatross is usually only found in the Southern Hemisphere and Northern Gannet is only found in the north, so the two species don't normally come into contact. But more importantly this is a great size comparison with Britain's biggest seabird. Gannets have nearly a six foot wingspan but you can see that looks small next to the Black-browed Albatross's nearly eight foot wingspan right next to it. And the final reason I liked this photograph is that it was really difficult to track and keep it in focus as it flew over the Gannet colony, so I was proud of my achievement.

White-browed Woodswallow, Artamus superciliosus
≠======================≠
This is the male of the pair nesting.
He has a favoured perch over the paddock and simple swoops off, circles, and returns.
Woodswallows are a soaring bird and when in a flock they fly high and circle about in huge numbers, 200+ or more.
A delicate-looking inhabitant of densely vegetated wetlands, where it scrambles over floating plants and between the stems of standing ones.
The White-browed Scrubwren is a drab bird which inhabits the dense undergrowth in many different habitats. Although scrubwrens are wary and alert, they are often inquisitive and easily called up from the dense vegetation, with one or more birds appearing briefly in the open to scold loudly at the intruder. They are also remarkably sedentary, often remaining in the same patch of vegetation.
This Australian bird's range extends from northern Queensland, in a broad coastal band through South Australia to the mid Western Australian coast, and Tasmania.
The White-browed Scrubwren lives in rainforest, open forest, woodland and heaths. It is usually seen in pairs, low down in the thick vegetation.
All autumn whenever I've been wandering around my local reserves I've been hoping to hear the characteristic call of a yellow-browed warbler. I've seen them before but not in Northants and it has therefore been a high priority for my county list. We were visiting people after Christmas and lo and behold, not one but two yellow-browed warblers turn up at one of my local patches, Summer Leys. After a couple of days of hoping they would stay, I visited and enjoyed a couple of hours with these brilliant little birds
The prolonged presence of "Albert" at Bempton Cliffs means that Flickr is brimming with Black-browed Albatross shots, including several from myself (I typed Yorkshire albatross into Flickr and got more than 1000 hits). Because of this, I wanted to capture albatross images that were clearly not taken at Bempton, and I think that this one ticks all the boxes. In the South Atlantic, Black-browed is by far the most numerous albatross. Most of the time it is difficult to look at the see without seeing one as they are numerous breeders on the Falkland Islands. In 2007 nearly 400,000 pairs bred there, which is about two-thirds of the global population. But as you cross into the colder water past the Antarctic convergence they become noticeably less numerous. So getting them with icebergs in the background is more of a challenge. I took this photo well south of South Georgia when we were en route to Elephant Island.
An early image and still one of my favourites. Just love the lines, made more dramatic by the polythene sheeting.
The location for this shot was on the A614 just outside Nottingham
Small bird, plump and compact with stout bill. Male and female both lime green with yellow belly and blue cap. Males have prominent yellow eyebrow. Usually seen in pairs or small flocks, often in association with a fruiting tree. Forages at all levels, most frequently the canopy. Listen for its single low-pitched whistle.
From High Brow the Holme valley circular walk drops down to Hepworth. Good views over Scholes towards Black hill. Im sure i saw Compo stretched out asleep here with a piece of grass in his mouth.
White-browed Scrubwren
≠=====================≠
I was watching along the beachline in the (forlorn) hope of a Native Hen making an appearance.
When on a sudden the Scrubwren flew into the shallow tidal pool, flicked up the water and was gone.
Fortunately it returned several times and I was ready.
The snowy-browed flycatcher (Ficedula hyperythra) is a species of bird in the Old World flycatcher family Muscicapidae.
Truly tiny flycatcher with a large-headed, large-eyed, stub-tailed appearance. Inhabits shady forests and bamboo at upper elevations; descends into foothills in parts of range. Male blue above with short white supercilium and bright orange throat that fades towards the belly.
Female brown above with rufous-tinged wings, pale eyering, and distinctive structure. Forages lower than most other flycatchers, sometimes even on the ground. Listen for extremely high-pitched whistles.
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.
Sometimes it's best not to be actively searching for birds, but to just sit down and wait. That was certainly the case earlier this week when i was at a local park. Being able to capture some close-ups of a couple Red-browed Finches was my favourite part of the outing.
With over 60 different species of birds found around the resort, I was thrilled to find one of the most beautiful birds of Costa Rica.
(National bird of El Salvador and Nicaragua).
This bird was zipping about, plonked itself down right in front of me, a couple of times too close to focus.... was intrigued by what it might be until I saw the left side, and there was the white stripe above the eye, the white crown was on only one side of the head. I've haven't seen a bird with the wrong feathers in the wrong place before.
White-browed Scrubwrens have nested in our pergola :) A bit higher than usual; they're supposed to nest near the ground. This would probably be safer, though
Red-browed Finch, Neochmia temporalis
≠==================≠
One of a small number feeding among the grasses. As I passed by they scattered to the bushes. This one chose a perch well under the bush, but at least in the open.

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.

White-browed Scrubwren (Sericornis frontalis) perched on a branch overlooking a small lake at Woodlands Historic Park, Melbourne, Australia.
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.
