The joy of a bulbul appearing in the frame

The joy of a bulbul appearing in the frame photo


It's not the best photo in the world and it's certainly not the clearest, but there is such a joy in capturing a bulbul in the frame of a photo. Because bulbul are notoriously energetic birds, that flit from blossom to blossom in nanoseconds. They are called "hiyodori" ヒヨドリ in Japanese and they are very common in Japan. Specifically, the ones that are common in Japan are the "brown-eared bulbul".
