    Default Eating Fruit - Copper-smith Barbet

    Copper-smith Barbets are mainly fruit eating but will take sometimes insects, especially winged termites.

    The shadow side is towards you. If you were on the other side, then it would have appeared much better with better details. The colours of the barbet is according to its habitat. The red in the throat and head appears like the figs and the green and yellow matching with the leaves. Thanks for sharing.
    Cheers,

    Sir it was not possible to take shot behind the sunlight due to high canopy shot from a building. But I managed that shot using shade- white balance.

    Nice to see it devouring fruits. Good eye contact. Do you normally use the only centre AF point while clicking? Thanks for sharing.
