African Red-eyed Bulbul in Stanford, Western Cape

Abstract

An African Red-eyed Bulbul Pycnonotus nigricans was observed in a suburban garden on 26 May 2024, in Stanford, Western Cape, South Africa. There is another record farther south on the Agulhas Plain. Given the fact that this bulbul is expanding southwards, all bulbuls in the Western Cape need to be carefully checked to determine the species.
