A Great Barbet relishing Papaya fruit
A beautiful large colorful barbet found in the Himalayan forests. They are quite audible in the forests in that region with the air often filled with calls from these barbets. I love their colors and had this in my target list before I started.
They are among the largest barbets in the country out of the 10 species found here. The birds are found in the Himalayan belt and much of the North eastern part of the country. They prefer insects, berries, other fruiting trees like Papaya and waiting around a clump of such trees will yield some sightings. We had several sightings including one very good moment where we spotted 6-7 barbets amongst a small clump of trees on a hill.
Many thanks in advance for your views, faves and feedback.
