BULBUL 7/25 - Streak-eared Bulbul
Streak-eared Bulbul

Wow a lifer sighted at Alor Setar. I was
wondering what bulbul could be seen in coastal arid ground. Running through the
reference book the give-away white streak marking on it face points to a
Streaked-eared Bulbul. Size normal for a bulbul 20 cm / 8 in. pale eyes and
long tailed. It can be mistaken for the Olive-winged Bulbul which also have
some streaking at its cheek.
It suppose to be common bulbul if you are in the right habitat. Bulbuls are
very adaptive and move a lot depending on season where shrubs and coastal trees
fruits. So at times they are not seen in an area for a while until there are
berries fruiting trees in bloom.
Further read indicate that it is more seen in northern peninsula and in open
grounds semi desert enviroment like in Kuala Kedah
