And of course, given that black is the new black (yes, I know – not a very original phrase), it should start with a Black Bulbul.

This is also why you very rarely find a photo of a giraffe on top of one of these posts – the other reason of course being that a giraffe photo would be relatively pointless in a birding blog.
