Coppersmith Barbet,(Megalaima haemacephala), by alabang, on Flickr
The Coppersmith Barbet, Crimson-breasted Barbet or Coppersmith (Megalaima haemacephala), is a bird with crimson forehead and throat which is best known for its metronomic call that has been likened to a coppersmith striking metal with a hammer. It is a resident found in the Indian Subcontinent and parts of Southeast Asia. Like other barbets, they chisel out a hole inside a tree to build their nest. They are mainly fruit eating but will take sometimes insects, especially winged termites.

Hi Jock.
Very nice shot, but shouldn't it be in the shot from behind gallery? ;D
It does appear to be posed for you.
Nicely caught.
Cheers Graham.

Just trying to figure out how to use it!
Here is my first attempt at a proper bird shot.
Hey maybe check out my FLICKR as well (; https://www.flickr.com/photos/92414546@N04/
Nice picture! I use this lens+teleconverter combination all the time on my 7D. It works very, very well.

The Farne Islands are possibly the most exciting seabird colony in England with unrivalled views of 23 species, including around 37,000 pairs of puffin. Amazing spectacle.
