The previous encounter with this species was back in August 2009, and it was a juvenile bird. After almost ten months of hoping the opportunity came when this adult female Blue-Eared Barbet alighted onto a branch of this fruiting tree where I was taking a breather after a steep uphill climb. They are canopy birds and tend to forage very high up the trees making them impossible to shoot with my setup. |
