My attempts to capture Asian barbets in Thailand ended in a complete failure. I didn’t manage to take a single satisfactory picture of any of the 4 barbet species which I photographed. They would always appear on tops of tall trees, what is more, there was always sky in the background and even converters and framing did not help. The distance was so huge that I wasn’t able to take good quality photos. Asian barbets do not belong to large birds. The length of their body is about 20-30 cm. They live in Asia south of the Himalayas. It will be hard to make changes in those galleries but taking their charm and places where they occur into consideration I had to create these documentary galleries on my website. This text is common for all four barbet galleries on my website (blue-throated barbet, lineated barbet, golden-throated barbet, coppersmith barbet).
