Red-vented Bulbul - Colombo, Sri Lanka

Red-vented Bulbuls (Pycnonotus cafer) are quite common in Colombo and they are often seen feeding on fruit trees in people's gardens. I was setting up a hide to photograph a Brown-headed Barbet when one of them perched on a branch close to me. It was feeding on some fruit which I thought was a bit too big for it to swallow whole. The bird didn't seem too bothered and it made for a slightly different shot.

Yellow-eared Bulbul - Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka

I photographed this Yellow-eared Bulbul (Pycnonotus penicillatus) during an early morning walk in the Nuwara Eliya Park. Although the park is in the middle of town and the main bus stand is in close proximity, the park is known for it's birdlife. This bird was cooperative,  as it perched on a branch close to where I was standing and stayed there for a couple of minutes.
