Yellow-Browed Bulbul
For the past few days I had been seeing a new yellow bird in my backyard, never seen before. So I was on the alert and got lucky when one of them landed close on the branch of the jackfruit tree. Was delighted to note that it was the Yellow-browed Bulbul, a gorgeous bird found in the Western Ghats, southern India and Sri Lanka. There are three known sub-species and this particular one is the Acritillas Indica Indica that is found in the Western Ghats in Kerala though they are known to frequent the coastal areas too. This Bulbul lacks a crest and has the upperparts olive-green with a prominent yellow brow and goggle with the underparts being all yellow as seen in the shot.
