The look on the Lineated Barbet was priceless. Fortunately the Oriental Magpie Robin is not known to raid another's nest, also, by size alone, it's non-threatening.
Nevertheless when the Magpie Robin flew off, it looked like the young one couldn't contain its curiosity, as it started to look for the trespasser.
Earlier, I was simply absorbed with and captivated by this young Barbet when it stuck its head out, calling and seeking.
And its parent did appear in response.
But was it unhappy as its parent had appeared without any food; after all feeding had been non-stop before this.
Nevertheless, as any parent would, only looked indulgently and lovingly at the young.
And the young's 'manja' reaction.
Then, off the adult went, in search of food.
And what a mouthful, just look at that bulge!
