A brown-headed barbet (megalaima zeylanica) that I saw near Anuradhapura, in Sri Lanka.My first reaction, on noting its colours was to assume it was an escaped cage bird - not so!!
This Asian Barbet found in the forest areas of the Western Ghats, parts of the Eastern Ghats and adjoining hills. It has a distinctive supercilium and a broad white cheek stripe below the eye. They are mostly frugivorous, but will take winged termites and other insects opportunistically.
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.
Lineated barbet is an Asian barbet native to the Terai, the Brahmaputra basin to Southeast Asia. It is a frugivore and nests in holes of tree trunks.

The coppersmith barbet, crimson-breasted barbet or coppersmith (Megalaima haemacephala), is a bird with crimson forehead and throat which is best known for its metronomic call that has been likened to a coppersmith striking metal with a hammer. It is a resident found in the Indian subcontinent and parts of Southeast Asia. Like other barbets, they chisel out a hole inside a tree to build their nest. They are mainly fruit eating but will take sometimes insects, especially winged termites. ( Wikipedia)
These birds play an important role in forests as seed dispersal agents. The white patch around the ear-coverts gives them their name. Since these Barbets sit still, and perch upright, they are difficult to spot. But once spotted they are also easy to capture. Their 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.
Black-browed Barbet
Black-browed Barbet, Megalaima oorti, Takur Kening Hitam
Another species that is common in sub-montane elevation. Usually stay high up in the trees but sometimes when there is lower fruiting trees, this bird comes down in numbers. Very difficult to spot in the foliage especially when it is not moving.
A White-cheeked Barbet checking out a Custard Apple. These birds are predominantly green, and they sit still which makes them difficult to spot. Their monotonous Kot-roo...Kotroo... call becomes louder and persistent during the summers. They have a straight and powerful flight.

The main range of this backyard visitor is the Western Ghats and along the associated hills of southern India into parts of the southern Eastern Ghats. These frugivorous birds obtain most of the water they need from the fruit they consume. They do occasionally take winged termites and other insects. The bird in this shot is greedily eyeing a Custard Apple.

Coppersmith Barbet, Takur Akar, Megalaima haemacephala
This species got its name because the calls is like a sound of coppersmith’s hammer. The first time I encounter this birds, it is perching high on a tree, too far for my lens. Usually can be found in scattered trees of open country, secondary growth and gardens. One need to be patient for it to comes down to lower level for a good shots. A tree with a lots of fruits got better chances to find this species. Look high up on trees in the gardens early in the morning. You might find it sitting on the top for a long period of time. This one is feasting among other species near fruiting Ficus benjamina tree. Give me ample time to focus and shot.

Antara Takur yang boleh dijumpai di kawasan peranginan tanah tinggi terutama di pokok pokok hutan yang sedang berbuah. Warnanya yang hijau menyebabkan ia agak sukar dikesan, terutama apabila ia tidak bergerak. Namun, apabila ada kumpulan burung lain sedang makan di pokok berbuah, selalunya spesis yang ini ada bersama.
