Nest In A Tree Branch

Juvenile Copper Smith Barbet In A Branch

This is the first time I am seeing this. A bird nest in a tree branch. My, the bird is not even a woodpecker but a Coppersmith barbet instead. The old tree where the nest is sits on my neighbour's property. The place is quite tranquil, now a home-stay with not much human activity. Probably, this is what attracted the mother bird to this place.

Pictured above is a juvenile bird. No siblings as far as I can tell. Mum will pop-up ever so often to feed this little one.

I couldn't get enough reach with my Canon EF-S 55-250mm lens. In the end, I have to rely on my Canon Powershot SX530 HS to get the shot above.
