Nice to see the Barbet with the young chick. Reducing the saturation a bit would be good. Was there a pink wall in the background? Thanks for sharing.

It is surprising to see coppersmith barbets have so well adapted in conjested city like Calcutta and that also in location like Dumdum. Lovely shot and thanks for sharing.

Nice composition. Nice to see the mother and the young one together in the same frame looking at each other. Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

P.S.: Coppersmith Barbet is seen in and around Kolkata including Salt Lake.

thnx for ur reviews...the pic, like all other picture from me with location of dumdum are taken from my rooftop; the pink background is the Hanuman Temple in Dumdum....the main reason that I get a lot of beautiful species from my rooftop is due the fact that within the congested area of Dumdum, there are two large ponds here, one at our apartment, and another at Hanuman Temple... :001_smile:

Good to know that you have a gallery view of the bird life in your area. Not many people have the luxury of doing birding from their balcony. :)
