LOL it would appear he hasn't, has he Bernard!!

What a little cutie he is!

Can you help with the actual species this guy belongs to please lad? There seems to have been a bit of splitting going on. We now have [COLOR="Blue"]Himalayan Bulbul[/COLOR] and [COLOR="Blue"]White-eared Bulbul[/COLOR] both of which seem to occur in the Middle East and Arabian peninsula.

The pre-split name was White-cheeked I think?

I do like to add pictures of immature birds to Opus articles where possible, so your help would be much appreciated.
 
how cute it is looking.

although i have a pair of our Hijaz bulbul in my garden since forever and many are my friends, i have never been able to see there young at this stage always when they are two more weeks older.
