Wondered which bird this was, but I could always glimpse it very briefly, until I finally got a photo of it. It's the red-vented bulbul, sitting on the high branches of a jungle jalebi (Pithecellobium dulce) tree in front of my house. Didn't expect it in the urban jungle.

Doc, red-vented bulbuls can be seen fairly regularly in urban and semi-urban area ..at least in Mumbai. The tree you have captured and the fruits, those seem to be a favorite food for them as well as for coppersmith barbets. There was such a tree just outside our building and I used to see so many of them feasting on that tree everyday! Was a pleasureable sight.

Unfortunately the tree fell down due to careless work done on the footpath!

X-posting a few images from a recent trip to the Cauvery River jungles.

Sunset below the resort

Bamboo leaves on the bank of Cauvery. Somehow I like this simple photo - the contrast between the leaves and the greyish river below.

All of them were shot using a Canon 1D Mark IV + Canon 600mm F4 IS, handheld in a jeep.
