Golden-throated Barbet by Markus Lilje in Bhutan
We end the weekend with the flashy Golden-throated Barbet. This resident breeder can be found in the hills of northeast India east to southwestern China, Malaysia and Vietnam in the tropical montane and moist deciduous forests where it makes its nest in tree holes. The word ‘Barbet’ is derived from the French word ‘barbe’ meaning 'beard', referring to the whiskers found under a Barbet’s chin! We hope your weekend is as spectacular as this bird, photographed byRockjumper Birding Tours leader Markus Lilje in Bhutan.
