White-Cheeked Barbet
Seen daily on the various fruiting trees in the backyard. Also called the Small Green Barbet. Like many other barbets of Asia, these are green, sit still and perch upright making them difficult to spot. These birds are mostly frugivorous, but will take winged termites and other insects opportunistically. When foraging they are quite aggressive and will attempt to chase other barbets, Koels and other frugivores.
