White-eared Bulbul

A new month a new challenge... I have taken part in the 30 Days Wild and enjoyed it, so I will try that this month. Maybe with some June trees. The only thing is that it is hot here now (40+C / 104+F) and not really cooling down at night.
But it is no problem to quickly walk into my little garden and return to the AC :)

For the birds that is not possible. I think they are hot too. This is a White-eared Bulbul and although his beak is open, he didn't make a lot of noise. It might be open just to breath or cool down a little.

Unfortunately I have some bad news about the nest and eggs of the Laughing dove I posted a few days ago ( http://365project.org/ingrid01/365/2021-05-28 ). Yesterday afternoon when I checked it seemed to have moved a little backwards and this morning the nest was on the floor, eggs smashed. It was sad, but in a way I'm happy that it happened now and not after the eggs had hatched.

A lovely capture of this bird. So do you think an animal knocked the dove’s nest down?

[Dawn]

A lovely capture of this bird I haven’t heard of this before

[Peter H]

A lovely bird and caught well.

[Ann Williams]

It's a great capture but my goodness, it sounds very hot.

[Susan Wakely]

Great capture. Such a shame about the nest.

[Pyrrhula]

Great close up capture of this nice bird. So sorry for the dove but I`m sure they try it again soon somewhere else.

Lovely photo. Sad about the nest, it didn't seem to be the brightest place to build a nest though did it. so it was probably doomed to failure.

Beautiful capture a lovely bird. I like the name. Sad about the nest.

@louannwarren I think it was just laying on the light (no way to secure it) and think when she left and returned it moved more and more to the edge until it fell of.

@flowerfairyann it is really hot... although high temperatures are normal here. I remember last year that I really wanted a refreshing shower (only warm/hot water is coming out), but this week seems to be a little worse with every day above the 40C.

@Dawn according to Wikipedia it is only found in south-western Asia from India to the Arabian peninsula.

Nice shot.
