These engaging passerines, resting side-by-side on a twig, are White-eared Bulbuls (Pycnonotus leucotis). Immediately noticeable is their sophisticated head pattern a jet-black cap and throat contrasting sharply with a prominent white ear-patch, which gives the species its common name. My extensive field observations in the Middle Eastern and South Asian regions have frequently focused on this adaptable bird, noting its overall pale, sandy-brown plumage and the characteristic bright yellow or orange patch of feathers beneath the tail (the vent), a feature common to many Bulbul species. They exhibit a rather fluffy, somewhat relaxed posture here, typical of birds pausing between foraging bouts. The species’ diet is remarkably varied, encompassing everything from fruits and nectar to insects. Having tracked their movements across various habitats, from dry scrubland to cultivated areas, their lively nature and melodious calls underscore their significant presence within their native ecosystems.
