Brown-eared Bulbul

Mito-cho

I learned to tell brown-eared bulbuls from gray starlings. That's because I came to know their English names. Brown-eared bulbuls sing "pee yo, pee yo." Gray starlings sing noisily. I used to live in Kanagawa, where gray starlings were in flocks in the street trees and they were so noisy.

Now, he (she?) is very conscious of my camera.
( I took a picture at a distance of 15 feet. )
They do great damage to the cabbage.
