Mouthful berries

Crimsonbreasted Barbet(Megalaima haemacephala), also known as the Coppersmith, is slightly larger than a sparrow.Its upper plumage is pleasing green, and its lower parts are yellowish. A bright crimson gorget across the nape of its neck is the bird's distinguishing feature. Its wings are short and rounded, and its tail is short, truncated and triangular. A familiar, loud, monotonous ringing tuk, tuk repeated every second or two in long runs throughout the day, reminiscent of a distant coppersmith hammering on his metal.
