Red-whiskered Bulbul (Pycnonotus jocosus) Location: Ocean Park, Hong Kong Equipment: Canon 7D + Canon EF 70-200 mm f/4L I was going to Ocean Park to hang out with the kids and wasn't expecting seeing some interesting birds. I was attracted to it first by its sounds and was able to trace it back to this tree. He saw me but he didn't mind.
