Just after I blogged about the common egyptian bulbul. I found a couple infront of the window and managed to take photos of them. The photos are a little bit shaky (because of the dim light) but they are ok. Notice the one staring at me. Actually it is a mirrored glass so it is probably staring at its own reflections. Now I need a better camera.

I never thought that there is such a large variety of birds living in Cairo. [Check this photo collection by namq on flickr|http://www.flickr.com/photos/namq/tags/birds,egypt]. Or you could check his [blog|http://namq.blox.pl/html] Notice the tags, they have the scientific name of each bird along side the English name. Never knew that a Bulbul is called so in both English and Arabic. Not only that but there is a large family of [Bulbuls|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulbul] living in Africa and Asia.

__UPDATE__: I managed to [photograph some bulbuls too|http://mostafa.foolab.org/node/239] :)
