This little friend struck a pose on a lovely branch in Kennedy Town.

Red whiskered bulbuls, also known as crested bulbuls, are medium sized, they tend to stay still and sing for a few seconds at a time, and they aren’t exactly shy, meaning that you can actually get quite close and detailed shots of them with my equipment. Excellent for practice.

This gorgeous bird enjoys this branch very much, though unfortunately it is not the best spot for taking photos since it is underneath quite a lot of cover, making it difficult to capture its lovely blue hue. This subspecies has a dark bill rather than the more common yellow bill.
