White-Cheeked Barbet

One more shot of this well camouflaged backyard visitor. Like all other Asian Barbets, they are mainly frugivorous (although they may sometimes eat insects), and use their bills to excavate nest cavities in trees. The main range is along the Western Ghats south from the Surat Dangs and along the associated hills of southern India into parts of the southern Eastern Ghats.
