Red-whiskered Bulbul

It was sunny and dry at Bowen Road this morning.  Flocks of Black-throated Laughing Thrush(黑喉噪眉), Red-billed Blue Magpies(紅嘴藍鵲) and Hwamei(畫眉) and Red-whiskered Bulbuls flew down from the treetops to fetch their food along the road.

The Red-whiskered Bulbul is not easily mistaken for any other species of bird.  It has a tall pointed black crest, white cheeks, brown back and a long white-tipped tail. The red whisker mark, from which it gets its name, is located below the eye.

Here are some pictures I took this morning.
