Nectar feeding Barbet on tree blooms.
Canon 40D + 300 2.8 + 1.4 extender. 400ASA
During late February 2009, a blooming tree outside my Delhi veranda attracted a host of Squirrels, Mynahs, Parrakeets and Barbets to feed on its nectar.
This Brown Headed Barbet was initially obscured through the branches on the far side of the tree but a 20 minute wait brought it into range and clear view.
This ideal pose in even light was worth the wait.
