Red Whiskered bulbuls in my garden

November 2nd, 2010

Red whiskered bulbuls can be identified by their
sweet whistles which can be heard in the background. These are the
couple of bulbuls who visit my garden everyday when it is nice and
sunny. The enjoy the ripe pomegranates and devotedly take a bath and dry
themselves before they fly away. It is such a wonderful sight to see
them. I have grown to wait for them around 3 in the afternoon. Luckily, i
was able to catch their action live also :)
