Prickly Perch

Species: Cape Bulbul (Pyncnonotus capensis)

Location: Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, Western Cape, South Africa

The fauna of Cape Town’s botanical garden is as magnificent as its flora. The cape bulbul tends to look unspectacular when compared to many of South Africa’s birds, but look closer and you will see its striking yellow feathers at the base of its tail.
