Checking to see whether the Lady Palm is conducive for nest building.
It did try but abandoned its project a few days later. :-(
Sorry, image isn't clear as captured through our tinted glass door.
This bird is scientifically known as Pycnonotus luteolus.
Asian Red-eyed Bulbul (Pycnonotus brunneus) - Danum Valley, Malaysia
This bird wasn't too thrilled to be woken up in the middle of the night. It turned out night walks through the jungle were a great way to see some birds up close, I hadn't expected that. I don't know why but I never encountered that many in other places during hiking after dark. Sometimes a bird would explode from a plant I nudged walking past it, but usually I saw them in time and this provided me with the opportunity to approach much closer than I could under normal circumstances. Its not everyday I can use my macro lens to photograph a bird!

A Western Ghats endemic - the Grey-headed Bulbul. They are not too hard to find in Manipal if you know where to look and what to hear, but their shy habits leave me feeling satisfied with anything I get :)
Keeping watch over their nest (prob. already containing eggs then?) on the Lady Palm tree at our porch a few meters away.
Sorry, photo is a tad blurry as was captured with camera held behind our slightly tinted glass door and zoomed in.
A little blurry as the scene was captured from inside our home through the slightly tinted sliding glass-door. This was as seen while working on my iMac, about 8 meters away. This bird is so alert and elusive, an unwilling model that flies off hastily whenever it felt threatened.
Sharing at my blog.

(Pycnonotus barbatus)(tricolor)
The common bulbul (Pycnonotus barbatus) is a member of the bulbul family of passerine birds. It is found in north-eastern, northern, western and central Africa.
The common bulbul was originally described in the genus Turdus. Some authorities treat the Somali, Dodson's and dark-capped bulbul as subspecies of the common bulbul.[2] The common bulbul is considered to belong to a superspecies along with the Himalayan bulbul, white-eared bulbul, white-spectacled bulbul, African red-eyed bulbul, and the Cape bulbul.[3] Alternate names for the common bulbul include the black-eyed bulbul, brown bulbul (also used for the Asian red-eyed bulbul), brown-capped geelgat, common garden bulbul, garden bulbul and white-vented bulbul as well as one name used for another species (yellow-vented bulbul).
Five subspecies are recognized:
P. b. barbatus – (Desfontaines, 1789): Alternate names for the nominate race include Barbary bulbul and North-west African garden bulbul. Found from Morocco to Tunisia
Upper Guinea bulbul (P. b. inornatus) – (Fraser, 1843): Originally described as a separate species in the genus Ixos. Found from southern Mauritania and Senegal to western Chad and northern Cameroon
Gabon bulbul (P. b. gabonensis) – Sharpe, 1871: Originally described as a separate species. Found from central Nigeria and central Cameroon to Gabon and southern Congo
Egyptian bulbul (P. b. arsinoe) – (Lichtenstein, MHK, 1823): Originally described as a separate species in the genus Turdus. Alternately named the Sahel garden bulbul. Found in eastern Chad, northern and central Sudan and eastern Egypt
Abyssinian bulbul (P. b. schoanus) – Neumann, 1905: Not to be confused with an alternate name for the Somali bulbul. Found in south-eastern Sudan, western, central and eastern Ethiopia, Eritrea
It is a common resident breeder in much of Africa. It is found in woodland, coastal bush, forest edges, riverine bush, montane scrub, and in mixed farming habitats. It is also found in exotic thickets, gardens, and parks.

The Red-whiskered Bulbul is about 20 centimetres (7.9 in) in length. It has brown upper-parts and whitish underparts with buff flanks and a dark spur running onto the breast at shoulder level. It has a tall pointed black crest, red face patch and thin black moustachial line. The tail is long and brown with white terminal feather tips, but the vent area is red.

The Red-vented Bulbul (Pycnonotus cafer) is a member of the bulbul family of passerines. It is resident breeder across the Indian Subcontinent, including Sri Lanka extending east to Burma and parts of Tibet.
The Red-vented Bulbul is easily identified by its short crest giving the head a squarish appearance. The body is dark brown with a scaly pattern while the head is darker or black. The rump is white while the vent is red. The black tail is tipped in white. The Himalayan races have a more prominent crest and are more streaked on the underside. The Race intermedius of the Western Himalayas has a black hood extending to the mid-breast. Population bengalensis of Central and Eastern Himalayas and the Gangetic plain has a dark hood, lacks the scale like pattern on the underside and instead has dark streaks on the paler lower belly. Race stanfordi of the South Assam hills is similar to intermedius. The desert race humayuni has a paler brown mantle. The nominate race cafer is found in Peninsular India. Northeast Indian race wetmorei is between cafer, humayuni and bengalensis. about 20 cm in length, with a long tail.
This is a bird of dry scrub, open forest, plains and cultivated lands. In its native range it is rarely found in mature forests. A study based on 54 localities in India concluded that vegetation is the single most important factor that determines the distribution of the species.
Red-vented bulbuls feed mainly on fruits, petals of flowers, nectar, insects and occasionally geckos They have also been seen feeding on the leaves of Medicago sativa.
