Barbet 12 - Bornean Brown Barbet ( lifer 500 Bornean )
There is another split in the Brown Barbet Family. This is now called the Bornean Brown Barbet and the peninsula Malaysia on is called the Sooty. I am not sure if this is a juvenile with it buff colored beak. It has a lighter brown throat with some white speck compared to its cousin.
My encounter was short lived I only managed 5 shots and only 2 were sharp as shown. The single bird was tagging in a birdwave. Norazmi did not manage to shoot with its Sony setup. Anyway it supposed to a common bird in Sepilok.
With this bird lifer I have reach my 500 milestone and the next target is to reach my 600th Malaysian bird in my life time. It is matter of dedication and perseverance.............
