Charmed by Barbet

About the only time to sight the smallest barbet, the Coppersmith Barbet, is when certain trees are fruiting, and not just any trees.  These fig fruits seem to be its favourite for it's the only type that it could be seen to frequent when the fruits are ripe.
The next best thing is when I was able to sight a sub-adult as well, quite rare too, and very difficult because its entire greenish body simply blends into the green foliage, and even if sighted this bird is always on the go, feeding, similar to the adult.

Compare it with the adult, and its adorable expressions.

 

It's a charming bird, and couldn't seem to have enough of it.

 And images of the adult feeding.
