Mountain Bulbul

Mountain Bulbul (Ixos mcclellandii, 绿翅短脚鹎).

One of a small flock, I spotted one early morning near the base of Yuelu Mountain. In the dry season various songbirds congregate in the few valleys with lingering rivulets or ponds, making now a good time for observing local birds; provided one can tolerate the heat, which is vigorous now, even in the shade.
