Considered an invasive species outside of the Indian subcontinent, these birds were probably the second most abundant land bird after the doves and Mynas (another introduced) in Tahiti. This bird was in fact being chased by a Myna before this picture was taken.

Red-vented bulbul - Pycnonotus cafer, the Red-vented Bulbuls in the south are much lighter coloured, than in the North, as my shot of one in Sri Lanka, www.flickr.com/photos/132734449@N05/52501965131/in/datepo... , shows.

Grey birds against a grey sea are not usually popular so I'm not expecting much attention on this one. But this was my fifth visit to Baja and this was the first time I have managed to capture a photo of one. They are a common enough sight off Baja, but they are usually whizzing past at a distance. Similarly Manx Shearwater is a fairly common sight around British coasts but it took me years to get a decent photograph. Actually Black-vented Shearwater was once though to be a Pacific subspecies of Manx Shearwater and the two do look quite similar, apart from the black vent (under the tail) just visible here. Here's a Manx Shearwater for comparison: www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/52262377959/in/photolist
95% of the world population of Black-vented Shearwater nests on a single island off Baja; Isla Natividad, though a few pairs nest on Guadalupe and San Benitos (which we visited). But like Manx Shearwater they only visit their nesting burrows under cover of darkness. Its scientific name Puffinus opisthomelas simply translates as shearwater with a black behind.
