see my cheecks (Pycnonotus leucotis)

before 5 years non of these bulbuls could be seen in Jeddah, now you can see them specially at certain regions in the North of the city.

they are very common in the East side of Arabia, which is about 1400 Km away from Jeddah, so they most probably originated form escape.

found this somewhere in a desert bush off road.

hope you like it
