[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
blackeyed bulbul - Pycnonotus barbatus.
Very common resident. Dark crested head, yellow vent and lack of conspicuous eye-ring identify this species.
reference-Newman's Birds of Southern Africa.

although the pic looks as if the bird is scared at the mirror image of itself, it is actually getting ready to drink water.

Excellent capture of this chap checking his reflection. He'll be off to complain to his hairdresser next, if I'm not mistaken ;-))
Nice and sharp capture with good details and light.

Paul,

Very nice picture. I havn't seen one of those for a while.

Hi Paul,
Good work: the composition, contrast and colors emphasize well this beautiful thirsty bird.
TFS, cordially,
Jean-Patrick
