Chiffchaff - Phylloscopus collybita
The common chiffchaff (Phylloscopus collybita), or simply the chiffchaff, is a common and widespread leaf warbler which breeds in open woodlands throughout northern and temperate Europe and Asia.
It is a migratory passerine which winters in southern and western Europe, southern Asia and north Africa. Greenish-brown above and off-white below, it is named onomatopoeically for its simple chiff-chaff song. It has a number of subspecies, some of which are now treated as full species.
This warbler gets its name from its simple distinctive song, a repetitive cheerful chiff-chaff. This song is one of the first avian signs that spring has returned. Its call is a hweet, less disyllabic than the hooeet of the willow warbler or hu-it of the western Bonelli's warbler.
The common chiffchaff breeds across Europe and Asia east to eastern Siberia and north to about 70°N, with isolated populations in northwest Africa, northern and western Turkey and northwestern Iran. It is migratory, but it is one of the first passerine birds to return to its breeding areas in the spring and among the last to leave in late autumn. When breeding, it is a bird of open woodlands with some taller trees and ground cover for nesting purposes. These trees are typically at least 5 metres (16 ft) high, with undergrowth that is an open, poor to medium mix of grasses, bracken, nettles or similar plants. Its breeding habitat is quite specific, and even near relatives do not share it; for example, the willow warbler (P. trochilus) prefers younger trees, while the wood warbler (P. sibilatrix) prefers less undergrowth. In winter, the common chiffchaff uses a wider range of habitats including scrub, and is not so dependent on trees. It is often found near water, unlike the willow warbler which tolerates drier habitats. There is an increasing tendency to winter in western Europe well north of the traditional areas, especially in coastal southern England and the mild urban microclimate of London. These overwintering common chiffchaffs include some visitors of the eastern subspecies abietinus and tristis, so they are certainly not all birds which have bred locally, although some undoubtedly are.

Tiny greenish bird restricted to a small range in Tasmania. Primarily greenish-gray. Black wings with obvious white spots. Adults have yellow face, which is absent in juveniles. Take care to distinguish from juvenile Spotted Pardalote (which is more boldly marked on the back and more spotted on the crown). Only found in areas of dry forest in Tasmania. Forages almost exclusively on manna gum (Eucalyptus viminalis) and is typically only present where there are trees old enough to have hollows for nesting. (eBird)
-----------------
This was our only chance to find this endangered bird and it was pouring buckets of rain on us. The ground was sodden (so much for "dry forest" habitat). But, there it was, this tiny bird, singing in the rain. It has forty white spots in its wings. A wonderful experience that I hope other birders will experience into the future.

Gentle-eyed large wader with a slightly upturned bill. Note overall grayish plumage with white belly and greenish legs. In flight, appears dark above with a broad white stripe up the middle of the back. Slightly larger and lankier than Common Redshank. Usually seen as singles or small groups. Listen for mellow “tewtewtew.” Feeds mainly by striding in water, picking and sweeping with its bill. Breeds across northern Europe and Asia; migrants and wintering birds in Africa, southern Asia and Australia occur in varied wetland habitats. (eBird)

Inevitably, during a birding trip, one will come across familiar birds, such as this Common Greenshank. We have a list of birds that we see in pretty much all countries that we visit, as well as those that show up in the eastern or western hemispheres. This bird has been seen in Europe, India and now Australia. Long migration!

Female Albino Sulphur - my insect book says the females can be greenish white and males are yellow; this one was white when the wings were open with beautiful color on the edges. Females sometimes exhibit a white form known as 'Alba'.

Haplophaedia aureliae
(Greenish puffleg / Calzadito verdoso norteño)
The greenish puffleg (Haplophaedia aureliae) is a species of hummingbird in the family Trochilidae. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, and Panama. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forest and heavily degraded former forest.
This kinglet is greenish above and has whitish underparts. It has two white wingbars, a black eye stripe and a white supercilium. The head crest, orange in the male and yellow in the female, is displayed during breeding, and gives rise to the English and scientific names for the species. This bird superficially resembles the goldcrest, which largely shares its European range, but the firecrest's bronze shoulders and strong face pattern are distinctive. The song is a repetition of high thin notes, slightly lower-pitched than those of its relative.
The common firecrest breeds in broadleaved or coniferous woodland and gardens, building its compact, three-layered nest on a tree branch. Seven to twelve eggs are incubated by the female alone. Both parents feed the chicks, which fledge 22–24 days after hatching. This kinglet is constantly on the move and frequently hovers as it searches for insects to eat, and in winter it is often found with flocks of tits. Despite some possible local declines, the species is not the subject of significant conservation concerns owing to its large European population and an expansion of its range over the last century. It may be hunted and killed by birds of prey, and can carry parasites. It is possible that this species was the original "king of the birds" in European folklore.

Snowy Egret
From eBird:
Small white heron with black bill, black legs, and yellow feet. Lores (between eye and bill) are usually bright yellow, but flush reddish in the breeding season. Also note lacy plumes on head, breast, and back during breeding season. Immatures have duller yellow lores and more yellow extending up the legs than adults. Fairly common and widespread in North and South America; often most common along the coast. Found in a variety of wetland habitats, especially shallow marshy pools and mudflats. Forages fairly actively in shallow water, often darting after small fish. Compare with immature Little Blue Heron, which usually has more greenish legs and lores, and note Snowy’s more active feeding style.
From the Photographer - for this type of bright, later in the day lighthing with a white subject (sunlit) I use ETTR meetering and push the camera's sensor to the limit. I use the histogram and the 'flickers' to let me know I'm at the right spot exposure-wise. The processing is fairly minimal in Lightroom - I cut back on the exposure a bit and so most all of the rest of the photo gets fairly dark - the yellow slippers and the formation they are resting on were in the sunlight as well.
I found the feet to intriguing I photographed a close-up of them and you can see that in the comments below.

Greenish Meadow Katydid (Conocephalus (Chloroxiphidion) upoluensis)
This little one also popped out when I raked.It stayed for a few seconds before taking off.
La mésange charbonnière est un oiseau assez grand.
Le mâle adulte a la tête plutôt noire avec les joues et les couvertures auriculaires blanches. La nuque est d'un noir bleuâtre luisant et présente une tache centrale blanchâtre à sa base. Le manteau est jaune verdâtre devenant plus vert en bas, tout comme le haut du dos et les scapulaires légèrement teintées de vert-olive. Le bas du dos et les couvertures sus-caudales sont d'un bleu-gris pâle, teinté de vert sur le croupion.
La queue est bleu-gris avec les vexilles internes noirâtres et les rectrices externes largement terminées de blanc. Le dessus des ailes est bleu-grisâtre et présente un nette barre alaire blanche.
Les parties inférieures sont jaunes (plus soutenu chez le mâle). Le menton et la gorge sont noirs, et on peut voir une ligne noire qui sépare en deux la poitrine et l'abdomen. Cette ligne est plus large et plus nette chez le mâle. Les couvertures sous-caudales sont blanches.
En dehors de cette ligne noire, la femelle est semblable au mâle, à peine un peu plus terne.
Le bec est pointu et noir. Les yeux sont brun foncé. Les pattes et les doigts sont gris-bleuâtre clair.
****************************************************************
The great tit is a pretty big bird.
The adult male has a rather black head with white cheeks and ear-coverts. The nape is shiny, bluish black and has a whitish central spot at its base. The mantle is greenish yellow becoming greener down, as is the upper back and scapulars slightly tinged with olive green. The lower back and the uppertail-coverts are pale blue-gray, tinged with green on the rump.
The tail is blue-gray with blackish internal vices and external rectrices largely white. The upper side of the wings is greyish blue and has a distinct white wing bar.
The underparts are yellow (more supported in the male). The chin and throat are black, and we can see a black line that separates the chest and the abdomen in two. This line is wider and clearer in the male. The caudal covers are white.
Outside this black line, the female is similar to the male, barely a little duller.
The bill is pointed and black. The eyes are dark brown. Legs and feet are pale bluish-gray.
Two-barred Greenish Warbler seen recently (20/10) in the vicinity of the Yorks Wildlife visitor centre. It was busily feeding in the sycamore trees moving from tree to tree. It was quite mobile. (1989)

GAMBIA FEB 2019
===============
MEDIUM sized, sturdy, pale grey-streaked wader, with greenish legs. A long distance migrant to the Gambia, from October to February, have heard some stay all year round. Favours extensive areas of mud, along mangrove edges, the shoreline and freshwater swamps. Feeds normally singly, probing often with head submerged, for fish fry, small crabs, worms and surface insects. Good to see them in the Gambia and the U.K.
