Red-eyed Bulbul enjoys the ixora berry

Red-eyed Bulbul (Pyconotus brunneus) with ripe berry of the Ixora coccinea

It is my first sighting of the Red-eyed Bulbul caught in the midst of eating a ripe berry of the Yellow Ixora.  It took quite a while (about 3 minutes)  for it to position the fruit well before swallowing it.

Bulbuls are having a fiesta

Red-eyed bulbul

 The bulbuls are kept busy at the park with the abundance of the tiny berry-like fruits of the Eugenia oleina.  They dashed and frolicked, chasing one another and then stopping to have a bite of the black juicy fruits.  The sounds of their flapping wings and their twittering calls makes the park lively everywhere.  All three species seemed to be oblivious of each other as they intermingle freely.  The rarely seen Black-headed bubul took time to get away from the edges of the forests and have fun in the park too.
