Better Barbet

[Friday, Feb.20, 2009 8am Thai Time]
The lineated barbet pictures the other day, well, you pretty much had to take my word for it. But today the barbets got into a tree much nearer our balcony - close enough for even my little powershot to get a recognizable shot. I know, it's still not one of those great telephoto shots, but for three times optical zoom it's not bad.

There were also koels calling, some red whiskered bulbuls, and a glimpse of what I think is a malkoha. We've only seen these far off or in today's case fairly close by well hidden in the tree and gone before we could really see it in the binoculars. We had some olive backed sunbirds the other day.
