White-browed Scrubwren
I was walking along a well used footpath, when the Scrubwren jumped out in the open and hunted among the leaflitter. It seemed to have no fear of people passing by on the footpath.

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

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.
We had a great birding trip to Sri Lanka set up by "Best of Lanka." (www.bestoflanka.com/) We managed to get 30 of 33 endemics thanks to our guide Dhanushka (www.facebook.com/dcliyanage).
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
≠======================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.

This one is an adult. I was slightly surprised that the Black-browed was not easily the most numerous Albatross that we saw..... that honour went to Salvin's !
Black-browed Albatross colony in Sounders Island, Falklands, 2.1.2020, morning.
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.

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).
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 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
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.
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.
Red-browed Finch, Neochmia temporalis
≠==================â‰
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.
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.
The black-browed barbet or Müller's barbet is a bird belonging to the Asian barbet family, Megalaimidae.

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.
