Have just noticed they have taken up residency on our balcony, made a nest and had a family! Didn't even spot the nest in one of our plants until I got close to it and one of the parents flew out right past my ear, now cordoned off and sneak up quietly to take a pic with a long lens to see how they're doing...

Great shot of a hatchling!

But are you sure that these are Chinese Bulbuls? The eggs look much more like the eggs of the much more common and more people-friendly Red-Whiskered Bulbul, a very different-looking bird.
They are the most likely birds to nest close to humans, see our complete topic with multiple sightings:
http://www.lamma.com.hk/forum-OK/viewtopic.php?t=9693

Both species can be seen on Lamma, see both birds below:

Yeah when I saw the eggs they looked like the ones from another, post so I assumed it was the former. But having seen the parents dashing in and out now I have realised it is a Chinese Bulbul
