Description : Captured this blue throated barbet while it was making its nest.Barbets are in general very good climbers due to their 'two toes forward, two toes back' foot structure. They make their nest by peaking a hole in a tree and this one was doing the same. It was tough to capture its action and specially with my short focal length lens (18-55mm). So I made a hide-out and waited three long hours to get some good shots of this colorful bird.This is one of those.
