White Cheeked & Red Vented Bulbul

[Mentalblock]

I believe the White Cheeked Bulbul may also be known as the White Eared Bulbul, but I prefer cheeked!
Not sure if the Red Vented has another name.

I'll add more pictures to this thread when I get them, they'll be of Bulbul's!

Thanks for looking

Thanks for the comments and for looking.
I agree with you on the crop Bryn, hadn't noticed that until you said.

I managed a couple of other shots of some Bulbuls over the weekend, I'll get them up this evening.

A couple more White Cheeked Bulbuls from the last week.
I'm still trying to get a Red Vented with his colours on show.

Some very nice images there and demonstrates what a difference a bit of decent light makes

Lovely images, where were they taken? Dubai?

All taken in Dubai, either in the garden or around the lake we back on to.
The light is good, but a lot of the time it's too harsh.

I've just joined another forum for birding which has great notes on where to go for spotting birds in Dubai; over the coming weeks, and before it get's too hot! I'm hoping to visit some of them to find other species.

I left Dubai in 2012 after 13 years there but may be going back again so would be interested to know what the forum you are referring to is. One place I went to in Dubai was Pivot Fields.

Yes, the Pivot fields are on my list.
It's the UAE Birding Forum.

12 years is a while.
I've only been here just over 6 months
The lake I refer to is one in Arabian Ranches
