    Default Coppersmith Barbet (Megalaima haemacephala)

    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.

    Nice to see this barbet with its food. Good to find the information about the bird. You have clicked at the right moment. However, the image looks to be a large crop and sharpening artifacts are visible. A wider composition with less crop would have been better. Which camera and lens did you use? Also sharing the exif details will help us in critiquing. Thanks for sharing.
    Cheers,
