Banana and papaya trees are on the river bank, apart from Bamboo Grass (Thysanolaena maxima). Naturally, this attracts a lot of birds, such as Yellow-vented Bulbul, Mynas, Glossy Starling, Black-nape Oriole, etc.
One particular bird that attracted my attention this week is Coppersmith Barbet. For two weeks I notice them to be more active with that familiar "tut-tut-tut" call. They also carry fruits/berries in their beak. So, it is the courtship mating time now. I posted here a few frames of photos that I managed to shoot. All of them only record shot quality.

The male fly in, and the female waits below.
