That is one of the most unusual birds I have ever seen. He's so plump! The sharpness of his beak makes me think he is a flycatcher but with his size, it seems bugs could fly faster. Very interesting post.

The first shot appeals to me the most because the green background allows the bulbul to pop. In the second one, the washed out background distracts. Both shots, though, are tack sharp on the bird. Well done.
