White-eared Bulbul (Pycnonotus leucotis)

I was waiting for asian paradise flycatcher female to appear again.. And suddenly on this perch this bulbul sat and started preening and side by side was checking my activity to be on safe side..
Was too close so got nice and sharp shots..

Excellent shot! I just came back from Sri Lanka where I also had great difficulty getting a good shot of paradise fly catchers, glad you found this instead! Posted 10 years ago

    Yes I saw it. Unfortunately my photo of it is terrible, it was far away and a lot of twigs obstructed a clear view. The white one is gorgeous! Posted 10 years ago
