(delhibirdpix) The Commoners - # 139.01 - Brown-Headed Barbet (Megalaima zeylanica) - 2011-034

With rains yesterday early morning and wind since then having washed away the smog and fog, the skies were blue this morning - a perfect setting for birds that become active in Spring.

Had six Brown-headed Barbets on the silk tree (?) outside my house.  By the time I managed to reach the roof to get a decent angle and half decent light, four flew and the other two remained and continued calling for a long time.

Here is one with broken upper mandible.

Cheers.
