In 2014 I saw what I presume to be Dodson’s Bulbul near Same (approximate location -4.3499894, 37.8362182), complete with white tail tips, scaly breast and white mark on face?
I wrote this early in 2017.

Dodson’s Bulbul
I’m not at all sure this form reaches Tanzania. In the extreme NE one can find birds that suggest hybrids between this and our common and widespread Yellow-vented but do pure dodsoni occur ?
Photographs
would be very much appreciated and does anyone know how far south this form is
found in Kenya.

any photos ? there is surely a quite wide hybrid zone BUT.
What do they do with this form in Kenya ? how close to Tanzania does anyone see GOOD Dodson's ?
cheers

Hi all,
Can someone enlighten me as to the status of Dodson’s Bulbul in Tanzania, please?
Britton seems to state that they occur in extreme northern Tanzania but no one of the other works seem to agree with this?
