I have been off flickr for a while. Hopefully will be able to post regularly again.
A threatened endemic of pennisular India, the Yellow-throated Bubul has a a wide range over a large chunk of the drier parts of southern peninsular India. However it has rather specific habitat requirements - usually found in the scrubby forests near low lying granite hills. This habitat is increasingly degraded and under threat, which makes this somewhat shy species rather local and much sought after by birders. Ramanagaram, Karnataka, India.
This species nest at our backyard so frequently in spite of experiencing failures repeatedly. What a vicious world... predators abound!
