Finally an encounter with a family of
Red-throated Barbet in Bukit Lancang side of the world. There is about five of
them. This subspecies is gregarious bird like the Brown and Red Crowned which
they flock together. Other Barbets are more or less on their own until mating
time.
The Red-throated is medium built coming in at 8 inches or 23cm. They say it is a common bird but I doubt that is true cos this is the first time I am sighting it in low land forest of Peninsula Malaysia. Many sighting up north though............
