A White-cheeked Barbet greedily eying a Custard Apple. This is a species of barbet found in southern India. It is very similar to the more widespread brown-headed barbet. It is endemic to the forest areas of the Western Ghats and adjoining hills and is commonly found in the backyard. Like all other Asian barbets they are mainly frugivorous although they may sometimes eat insects and they use their bills to excavate nest cavities in trees.

The Black-browed Barbet or Müller's Barbet (Megalaima oorti) is a bird belonging to the Asian barbet family, Megalaimidae.

It is 20-23.5 cm long. The plumage is mostly green apart from the head which is patterned with blue, yellow and red. There is a black stripe above the eye. The bill is black and the feet are grey-green.

 

It has a scattered distribution in south-eastern Asia. The subspecies M. o. oorti occurs in Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula. M. o. annamensis is found in eastern Cambodia, southern Laos and south-central Vietnam; it is sometimes treated as a separate species, the Indochinese Barbet.

 

Three further subspecies of Black-browed Barbet are now commonly treated as two separate species: the Chinese Barbet (M. faber) of southern China (M. f. sini in Guangxi and M. f. faber in Hainan) and the Taiwan Barbet (M. nuchalis) of Taiwan.

Takur Akar

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.

Burung ini lazimnya bertenggek tinggi di puncak pokok untuk masa yang lama. Setelah beberapa ketika ia akan turun di celah celah daun terutama di pokok yang sedang berbuah. Saiznya yang kecil menjadikannya sukar untuk dirakam gambar yang baik. Tetapi ada ketikanya ia akan berhenti sebentar di tempat terbuka hujung daun atau dahan mati seperti dalam shot yang ini.

We had a great birding trip to Sri Lanka set up by "Best of Lanka." (www.bestoflanka.com/) We managed to get 30 of 33 endemics thanks to our guide Dhanushka (www.facebook.com/dcliyanage).

A Copper-smith Barbet (Megalaima haemacephala) was seeking opportunities nearby for the taking from a beautiful perch. The angle of head inclination, backdrop bokeh and its colour combinations made a pleasant composition. Pics was taken from Santragachi, West Bengal, India.

臺灣擬啄木 Taiwan Barbet【學名:Megalaima nuchalis Gould,1863】鴷形目 / 五色鳥科 / 台灣特有種;原名:五色鳥。因鳴聲像敲擊木魚的聲音,所以有「花和尚」之美名。

 

在台灣已為普遍的留鳥,大多分佈於海拔2,400公尺以下的區域,在一些都市裡的生態型公園裡都能常見到牠們的身影。

 

雌雄同色。每到三月到八月都能見到牠們鑿洞育雛,通常都是由雄鳥鑿洞,但當在樹洞裡育雛時,雙親會輪流餵食,直至幼鳥離巢。

 

在育雛期間,可愛的幼鳥會常不時將頭探出樹洞,等待親鳥回來餵食,模樣真的相當可愛啦!縮小版的台灣擬啄木也只有這個時候能看得到,也常是鳥友們必拍的場景之一。

A Blue-throated Barbet (Megalaima asiatica) was framed perching on its favourite branch while eyeing every opportunities for the taking. It was a difficult situation under shady condition and high level object but somehow I managed it to frame with sweet notes. The backdrop was well lighten but the subject was in shades. But the beauty of a Nikon Prime bokeh made this stand out in every aspect. The sweet colour tones and the ornamental arrangements of bokeh were the signature of Nikon exotic Prime for sure. Pics was taken from a garden in Kolkata, W.B., India.

臺灣擬啄木 Taiwan Barbet【學名:Megalaima nuchalis Gould,1863】鴷形目 / 鬚鴷科 / 臺灣特有種;俗稱:五色鳥 / 花和尚 ( 因鳴聲像敲擊木魚的聲音 )。

 

雌雄同色,大多棲息在平地及中高海拔闊葉林中,在都市公園中,常能見到其身影,由於多年來保育下來,五色鳥的數量已繁殖到穩定狀態,目前並非保育類。

 

五色鳥的繁殖期大多在3至8月,6~7月為高峰,大多選枯樹為鑿洞育雛的地點,會有重覆使用舊巢的紀錄;鑿洞的工作,通常是交由雄鳥負責,雙親會輪流孵蛋及育雛。雛鳥約13~15天會孵出,而幼雛時間大多將近20幾天至1個月。

 

生活在都會公園附近的我們,能在近距離下見到牠們辛勤鑿洞,生育下一代的畫面,實為珍貴,也希望前往拍攝牠們的鳥友們,能更加友善多留些空間給牠們使用,讓這樣互信的環境裡,創造雙贏的結局。

Coppersmith Barbet / Megalaima haemacephala

台灣擬啄木Taiwan Barbet【學名:Megalaima nuchalis】鴷形目 / 五色鳥科;俗名:花和尚。

 

在中華民國野鳥學會最新版的「台灣鳥類名錄」,已將原"五色鳥"正名為台灣擬啄木;全球有超過八十種五色鳥,在台灣僅有一個亞種,也將其正式列為台灣特有種。

 

台灣擬啄木的復育也相當成功,現在數量也都算穩定,常於平地或山上都能常聽見牠們的聲音,今天很開心,好多地方都有牠們的新生命準備誕生了,再過十幾天,小朋友也準備離巢了,加油!「台灣擬啄木」,希望明年還能再看到牠們這樣的畫面。
