This is a very pretty Bulbul, HP. It must be native to your area because I have seen only the red and yellow vented Bulbuls in and around Delhi.
The image captured from the front is quite sharp and obviously colourful. The sun overhead glints off the eye of the bird and shows the perfect focus.
TFS and all the best.

Hallo Haraprasan
A delightful portrait of a most charming bird. Good composition with great details and colours. The red feathers on the cheek are beautiful as well as the hood on the head. Well seen and captured. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your day.
Kind regards.

Hello Haraprasan,
Fine capture of a Red-whiskered Bulbul caught in a nice pose and taken from a POV that shows the red head patches and catchlight in the eye well.
Thanks for sharing this fine image of a species that I have seen several times but have not been able to get close enough to to photograph like this.

It is a fine thing that I have this book which Fartash sent me...I can now relate to this bird as per the ID from you and the book...Very nicely done and I might stop back on this later today if I have some spare time.

Hi Haraprasan,
Excellent shot of this Bulbul with fine colours and details on its plumage. Fabulous pose captured and you have managed the harsh lighting pretty well. I like the glint and intensity on its eye. Excellent POV and composition. Kudos.
TFS.

Hi Haraprasan.
Funny and bit and so cute at the same time bird. And funny is the substrate where the bird has settled down. Wonderful details and natural colours of the image, excellent strong vertical framing. Well done and TFS.

A fine looking bulbul Haraprasan, but I'd prefer a more natural looking perch my friend, still, the frontal POV provides excellent plumage and coloration details in this sharply focused capture against a clear BG. TFS and cheers,

Wow you are lucky Haraprasan!
Spotting a nest, eggs, young and feeding Bulbuls!
I will look forward to the other photos in the series.
This is a very good shot!
The pose is excellent and you've composed this perfectly.
Superb sharpness and clarity.
Well done,

Hi Haraprasan,

I don't think I have seen this Bulbul before. Crest, face, and plummage are lovely. I love that red patch. A wonderful pose making him look very stately.

Great looking bird HP, nice color and good exposure.
I like the POV and framing too. Well focused and detailed, but a bit faster on the s-speed would improve the image IMHO. I would've used a slightly higher ISO, and again, F/16 is bit much for this one..
Well done!
