Not another bird! Sorry, but until we take our first trip into the bush, this little guy will have to suffice. This is the dark capped bulbul doing his best Sinatra for the ladies. Unfortunately, he enjoys doing this between five and six in the morning. Marnie and I are gradually adjusting to the fact that people get up early to take advantage of the daylight and are mostly in for the night by dark (around 7), so perhaps this is a blessing.
Though not evident by the picture, the bulbul has a bright yellow bum that he shows off by flitting his tail as he sings. Something to keep in mind for the single fellas out there.
These pictures always remind me of how much Jack loved animals, bird-watching in particular. Binoculars and a reference book were always by a window to the backyard. It's good you are carrying on the tradition.
