Red-whiskered Bulbul at Bombo Headland

A few days ago, I visited Bombo Headland Geological Site on the east coast of Australia, south of Sydney. There were several Red-whiskered Bulbuls flitting around the bushes. This one was perched on a messy clump of Lantana, with the impressive cliffs of the headland in the background.

Red-whiskered Bulbuls are pretty little birds, with striking black, red, and white markings. They’re native to southern Asia (India, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Malaysia), and were introduced into Sydney in the late 1800s.

Common name: Red-whiskered Bulbul
Scientific name: Pycnonotus jocosus
Approximate length: 20 cm
Date spotted: 31 May 2025 (autumn)
Location: Bombo Headland Geological Site, NSW, Australia: 34°39’03.6″S 150°51’42.3″E

Bombo Headland is worth a visit, with its impressive rock formations and churning sea currents:

I feel sure that my bookmark, the Travelling Worm, will publish a post about our visit soon!

How #Singapore Became an Unexpected Stronghold for a Critically Endangered Bird smithsonianmag.com/science-nat

Despite being the smallest country in Southeast Asia, the city-state is now home to the largest population of the straw-headed #bulbul. The #bird’s population is slowly, but steadily, increasing, thanks to over three decades of #conservation actions.

Painted a bird bulbul and ripe persimmon fruit.
The bird is a endemic species in east Asia, you can see them everywhere in Japan especially in autumn and winter.
They squeak like "heeee" or "kheee" therefore they are called "hiyodori"(dori=bird) in Japanese.

By the way, I decided to add hashtags #FreePalestine #StopGazaGenocie and #ceasefireNow , on every my post till the permanent ceasefire agreement.

Thank you.
