The brown-eared bulbul (Hypsipetes amaurotis) is a medium-sized bulbul native to eastern Asia. It is extremely common within the northern parts of its range and can be found from southern Sakhalin to the northern Philippines.
The brown-eared bulbul was originally described in the genus Turdus. Later, some authorities placed it in the genus Ixos and then the genus Microscelis, before being re-classified to Hypsipetes in 2010. Alternate names for the brown-eared bulbul include the Asian brown-eared bulbul, chestnut-eared bulbul, and Eurasian brown-eared bulbul.

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Brown-eared Bulbul sighting in Dalian on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 10th most-seen of the 46 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Brown-eared Bulbul in Dalian on a given day, against about 10% in June and September, the lowest months. That is one of Dalian's driest months, with about 10 mm of rain against 170 mm in August. March–May, August and October–November have too few records to rate.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Brown-eared Bulbul sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
15th of 19
Of the 19 cities where we can rate Brown-eared Bulbul sightings, Dalian ranks 15th at about 20%. The best odds are in Gwangju (South Korea, over 90%), Sendai (Japan, about 90%) and Seoul (South Korea, about 90%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Brown-eared Bulbul is recorded against all the birds logged in Dalian (16 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
