Different species, but probably filling the same evolutionary niche, Bob.
Many Thanks

I've got a soft spot for these bulbuls; somehow they seem slightly sad to me, but they are a nice photographic challenge.
Many Thanks, Linda

I hadn't viewed them in that way initially....perhaps the flash of yellow feathers, first cancelled that impression out (yellow being a happy color) But now, looking again, I do see what you mean. It's in the face, the eyes in particular, coupled with the gray feathers,... I think,...which creates that impression.

Agreed, Steven, lovely pretty bird. Quite common, but a challenge nevertheless to capture.

As I say in the Feature, these fellows are often overlooked or dismissed by local folk as they are so common, but really they are quite fascinating.
Many Thanks

The exuberant aloe flowers works very well with the little bird.

Good point about the aloes (lots of different types in SA), Mayumi. They are a major source of food for small birds.
Cheers
