Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The great barbet, an avian denizen of the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, graces the lush forests of altitudes up to 3,000 meters with its presence. Despite its captivating colors, this largest of the barbets often presents an all-dark silhouette from afar. Distinguished by its imposing pale bill, black head, and dark olive back, it maintains a reserved demeanor, favoring the shelter of dense forest canopies where it can be elusive to observers.

Listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List since 2004 due to its extensive range, the great barbet enchants with its resonant hooting song, typically characterized by a repetitive series of two notes. This melodic refrain serves as the primary clue to its hidden whereabouts amidst the foliage. Additionally, it emits a harsh, gull-like scream, further adding to the mystique of this magnificent bird.

This is captured at Mahananda Wildlife Sanctuary, West Bengal, India
