Golden-whiskered Barbet
On Sun 100906 woke up late 9am and decided to
go to Rimba Ampang to snap the blue banded. Again dissapointed. Met fellow
birder Yeoh from MU who is a regular there. He saw a Drongo and rush me to the
spot but nope its gone. Tell me to come at 3-5pm upstream amongst the pondage
clearance. Good chance it will be there. It need some good light to catch its
prey of tadpole and guppiesVery quiet day until I notice a large green bird flew into the nearby palm and I was across the other side still looking for the elusive kingfisher. Came up zilt so waded across shalow stream to the road ..........and then my lifer for the day
It the biggest amongst the 4 green species about 30cm (1 feet). GWB have distinct grey throat grey bluish red flecked crown & large yellow patch cheek. Call a loud repeated Ku-took in repetition often in minutes.
