Now that you mention it, it does have that unkempt, slept-in look doesn't it 😊
Thanks both, it was a bit of a game identifying but made easier as barbet's are a bit untidy looking so started there.
Awesome spot Mel! First spotting of this species on Project Noah that I can find.
Tukup, do you have any photo editing software? If you keep your exposure settings a little lower it can be easier to adjust the photo later on the computer.
Nice picture against the sky Mel. I seem to only get unidentifiable silhouettes. Nice pictures. Pretty bird. Thanks.
