A white-browed bulbul (Pycnonotus luteolus) - a very shy bird, though common!
The genus Pycnonotus was introduced by the German zoologist Friedrich Boie in 1826 with the Cape bulbul as the type species. The name of the genus combines the Ancient Greek words puknos "thick" or "compact" and -nōtos "-backed".
Latin luteolus is an adj. meaning yellowish
This species is identifiable by the white supercilium, white crescent below the eye, and dark eye stripe and moustachial stripe. The vent is yellowish and there is some yellow on the chin and moustache. The bird is endemic to southern India and Sri Lanka and it is found in dry open scrub country mainly on the plains and also occurs in gardens and woodlands with dense shrubbery. White-browed Bulbuls are usually seen singly or in pairs. They forage within bushes for fruit, nectar and insects.

A juvenile clicked while eating the delicious, juicy, sweet berries of the perennial flowering Lantana plant. These birds are largely olive coloured above with whitish underparts. They have a pale supercilium and a yellow vent. They are found in dense scrub habitats, where they skulk within vegetation and can be difficult to see although their loud and distinct burst of calls are distinctive. Since this was a young bird it allowed me to approach close and get some good detail.
White-browed Bulbul (Pycnonotus luteolus insulae) in Sinharaja National Park, Sri Lanka. This bulbul is endemic to the bottom half of peninsular India and Sri Lanka.
Yellow False Truffle, I like the texture of this one, it just grew there in the moss and another on the footpath, looking for all the world as if a dog had left it, but no it's a fungus.

As its name suggests, the Little Weaver (Ploceus luteolus) really is tiny. It's about 12cm long and only weighs 11-15g and is much smaller than all the other Weavers. For comparison, a House Sparrow is 16cm and weighs 25-40g, about three times heavier. They occur in a band right across sub-Saharan Africa but the distribution is patchy, and they are not particularly common. We only saw them in one place in Ethiopia, near Lake Awassa, including this male gathering nesting material. I typed the scientific name into images and very few returns were actually of this species so I thought it was worth uploading.

White-browed Bulbul
The white-browed bulbul (Pycnonotus luteolus) is a member of the bulbul family of passerine birds. It is a resident breeder in Sri Lanka and peninsular India. Largely olive coloured above with whitish underparts, it has a pale supercilium and a yellow vent. They are found in dense scrub habitats, where they skulk within vegetation and can be difficult to see although their loud and distinct burst of calls is distinctive.
The white-browed bulbul is about 20 cm (7.9 in) long, with a moderately long (8 centimetres or 3 inches) tail. It has olive-grey upperparts and whitish underparts. This species is identifiable by the white supercilium, white crescent below the eye, and dark eyestripe and moustachial stripe. The vent is yellowish and there is some yellow on the chin and moustache. The throat is however largely whitish unlike in the similar looking and sounding yellow-throated bulbul which is found in rockier habitats. Three or four hair-like filoplumes are present on the nape. Sexes are similar in plumage. It is usually detected by the burst of song that it produces from the top of a bush and often dives into the bush becoming difficult to see. The song is a rich, spluttering warble and the bird is more often heard than seen. P. l. insulae is slightly darker and has a shorter wing than the nominate race.
This species is endemic to southern India and Sri Lanka. The northern boundary is along Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and western West Bengal (near Midnapur). It is found in dry open scrub country mainly on the plains and also occurs in gardens and woodlands with dense shrubbery.
White-browed bulbuls are usually seen singly or in pairs. They forage within bushes for fruit, nectar and insects. The breeding season is spread out from March to September and may possibly breed twice a year. Peaks in breeding occur in February and again in September. The dry season of May to July appears to be avoided for breeding in the Point Calimere region. They build a nest, a loose cup made of twigs, cobwebs and hair placed low in a thick bush and usually on the periphery. Two eggs form the typical clutch. Individuals may live for more than 11 years.

The spores of this are virtually the same as the other posting of C. variabilis but it is apparently rare to find it on herbaceous plants, in this case, bracken. C. luteolus is found on bracken but its spores are far to big for this to be it. Oh well.....

The black-hooded oriole (Oriolus xanthornus) is a member of the oriole family of passerine birds and is a resident breeder in tropical southern Asia from India and Sri Lanka east to Indonesia.
It is a bird of open woodland and cultivation. The nest is built in a tree, and contains two eggs. Its food is insects and fruit, especially figs, found in the tree canopies where they spend much of their time.
Taxonomy and systematics:
The black-hooded oriole was formally described by the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus in 1758 in the tenth edition of his Systema Naturae under the binomial name Coracias xanthornus. Linnaeus was confused by the similar appearance of the unrelated New World orioles and the Old World orioles. In his entry for Coracias xanthornus he cited a descriptions of birds occurring in Jamaica by Mark Catesby and Patrick Browne as well as an illustration by George Edwards of a bird occurring in Bengal. Linnaeus specified the habitat as "America" but Bengal is now the recognised type location. Also in the 10th edition Linnaeus listed Sturnus luteolus among the starlings and cited another illustration by Edwards. He renamed this species as Oriolus melanocephalus in the 12th edition of 1766. All three binomial names are now believed to refer to the black-hooded oriole.
The current genus Oriolus was erected by Linnaeus in 1766 in the twelfth edition of his Systema Naturae. The name is from Medieval Latin oryolus for the Eurasian golden oriole which in turm comes from the Latin word aureolus for "golden". The specific epithet xanthornus is from the Ancient Greek xanthos "yellow" and ornis "bird".
Alternate names for the black-hooded oriole include the Asian black-headed oriole, black-headed oriole, Indian black-headed oriole and Oriental black-headed oriole.
Subspecies:
O. x. xanthornus - (Linnaeus, 1758): Found from northern India to northern Malay Peninsula and Indochina
O. x. maderaspatanus - Franklin, 1831: Originally described as a separate species. Found in central and southern India
O. x. ceylonensis - Bonaparte, 1850: Originally described as a separate species. Found in Sri Lanka
O. x. reubeni - Abdulali, 1977: Found on the Andaman Islands
O. x. tanakae - Kuroda, 1925: Found on north-eastern Borneo.
Description:
The male is striking, with the typical oriole black and yellow colouration. The plumage is predominantly yellow, with a solid black hood, and black also in the wings and tail centre.
The female black-hooded oriole is a drabber bird with greenish underparts, but still has the black hood. Young birds are like the female, but have dark streaking on the underparts, and their hood is not solidly black, especially on the throat.
The black head of this species is an obvious distinction from the Indian golden oriole, which is a summer visitor to northern India. Orioles can be shy, and even the male may be difficult to see in the dappled yellow and green leaves of the canopy.
The black-hooded oriole's flight is somewhat like a thrush, strong and direct with some shallow dips over longer distances.
While foraging the species uses foliage-gleening, wood-gleening, or sallying methods.
Relationship to humans:
The black hooded oriole lives in common contact with humans in rural and urban India.
A folk tale from Bengal has it that an unfortunate girl of a merchant family was tortured by her mother-in-law. Troubled by various incidents she smeared herself with turmeric paste and covered herself with a sooty earthen pot and killed herself. A goddess resurrected her as a black hooded oriole and a Bengali name for the bird is "benebou" or merchant's wife while another name is "haldi pakhi" or turmeric bird.
