White-browed Scrubwren
≠=====================â‰
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.

Never an easy target as they are so swift through the undergrowth
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).
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
White-browed Scrubwren (Sericornis frontalis) perched on a branch overlooking a small lake at Woodlands Historic Park, Melbourne, Australia.
Photographed this stunning alpine finch in Tawanga at 13,000 ft elevation, Himalayas, Arunachal India.
Thalassarche melanophris and Morus bassanus
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.
White-browed Robin-chat (Heuglin's Robin).

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.
A lake with shallow waters. 2 wagtails are seen since a week. I am sure these couples are about to nest and lay eggs or they have already done it inside nearby bushes.
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 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 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.

White-browed Meadowlark (Sturnella superciliaris) or polÃcia-inglesa-do-sul as it is known here in Brazil.
Bempton - East Yorkshire - Great to catch up with this Ocean Wanderer , What a sight and one I would never have expected to see in my lifetime . Amazing that it was taken in the Northern hemisphere rather than were it should be in the Southern Antarctic.
(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.
White-browed Scrubwren (Sericornis frontalis), Melbourne, Australia. This bird was inhabiting the bushes with Superb Fairy-wrens, European Goldfinches, Red-browed Finches, Golden-headed Cisticolas and House Sparrows.
