Description
This time I chose the Black-collared Barbet (Rooikophoutkapper) also representative of the common garden birds in central South Africa. I hope you like the red color which is not coincidental tomorrow, Feb 14th!

Funny how things work huh? I would of thought you'd call this a red faced barbet, but what do I know? Interesting and colorful little guy, nice capture for sure!!
If this is a typical garden bird I say wow. Quite a beak on these.Your captures are both really nice using the perch and dof. As always a good collage presenting them. Be good my friend.

Beautiful captures of these birds. Aren't this one and your other posting such different colours. These must be great to see in the wild, would make a great splash of colour.

That is a truly beautiful bird Piet! Wonderful photos to mark a very special day. :-)
So wonderful capture!So wonderful colors too!
A great pair of images. Well done as always
That red...wow...I wonder how he avoids being eaten, lol.Gorgeous duo, Piet. I love his expression in them. In the first he looks thoughtful and in the second he looks inquisitive. Well done!-M :^)
I forgot to mentione in the comments for the crested barbet that I really appreciated the link to more info on that bird. I was looking for a link to this one also .. grins .. but no luck. These are wonderful shots, and I'm guessing these are not as aggressive as the crested variety.
