Pycnonotus sinensis
The Light-vented Bulbul or Chinese Bulbul, Pycnonotus sinensis (Gmelin, 1789) (Pycnonotidae), 19cm in length, is common in East Asia, including Hong Kong, mainland China, Taiwan, Korea and Japan. In Hong Kong, the light-vented bulbul is abundant in lightly wooded areas, cultivated land and shrubland. Its particular characteristic is the large white patch covering the nape and the sides of its black head. It also sings very brightly and variably with a 'cha-ko-lee...cha-ko-lee...' sound.

Spotted in Hong Kong Disneyland, 68 acres (28 ha) of reclaimed land in Penny's Bay, Lantau Island HK.
