Light-vented Bulbul - eating leaves
I watched a Light-vented (Chinese) Bulbul this afternoon. It was tearing off pieces of a Bougainvillea leaf and eating them. HBW Alive states that food is: variety of berries, small figs (Ficus), soft fruit and vegetables; also insects..... I noticed though that the leaves all had leaf-mines and I wondered whether the bulbul was looking for tiny larvae. Just a passing observation.
