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

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.

Scientific name: Ficedula hyperythra
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.
I hadn't noticed these little birds until recently.
They are at the entrance-way to the farm and it appears there are hundreds of them busily going about their day.
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.
Apologies for the continuing theme of the Yorkshire Albatross but it was a pretty amazing, and this angle shows its underwing pattern rather than its black back. Black-browed Albatross normally only occurs in the southern hemisphere and its nearest breeding site to Britain is the Falkland Islands which is 8000 miles away. They are habitual ship followers and I'm assuming that is how this one managed to stray so far out of range. But Sooty Shearwaters www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/5511808162/in/photolist also breed in the Falkland Islands and they routinely migrate north to British waters in large numbers every summer (which is the southern hemisphere winter).
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.

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 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.

The Black-browed albatross is a member of the albatross family Diomedeidae, the ‘tube-noses’, related to shearwaters, petrels and fulmars. It is the most common and widespread albatross. The name for this large seabird comes from the dark black plumage above their eyes. Albatrosses are true marine birds, traversing the oceans in the southern hemisphere, returning to land only to breed. They are similar to the gray-headed albatross but the latter has a wholly dark bill and more complete dark markings on the head.
Distribution:
The Black-browed albatross is found anywhere in the south Atlantic and circumpolar in the southern hemisphere. It can travel further to the north with cold currents. During September and October, these birds breed on south Atlantic islands such as South Georgia and the Falkland Islands, South Sandwich, and the Cape Horn islands. These are marine, pelagic birds but they do commonly come inshore, typically moving toward the shore during violent weather. Breeding grounds are typically on steep slopes with cliff terraces, tussock grass, or level ground.
Habits and Lifestyle:
Black-browed albatrosses typically are solitary at sea, except when there is a large feeding opportunity. They forage both day and night, according to the prey species. They gather during the breeding season in nesting colonies that can number over 180,000 pairs. They are very mobile birds and can travel 500 to 3,000 km to forage. They are often seen hundreds of miles offshore following a ship, simply gliding behind it. This species only establishes territory during the breeding season. Breeding pairs will not permit another individual to come within 1.5 m of their nest. They are generally silent birds, but with breeding colonies will make rapid grunting noises. They will also make noises by beak-clapping. Breeding pairs communicate through courtship behaviors like allopreening and beak touching. Black-browed albatrosses, like all birds, perceive their environment through visual, auditory, and tactile, as well as chemical stimuli.

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

White-browed Woodswallow, Artamus superciliosus
≠======================â‰
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.
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.
