Spotted
The Bornean Barbet is an attractive Asian barbet, characterized by its green plumage, a blue crown, and yellow and red facial markings. It is endemic to the island of Borneo.
Where to spot
Humid lowland and montane forests, particularly in the sub-canopy and mid-story, across Borneo.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, repetitive calls. Scan the mid to upper canopy of forest trees. Its bright colors and blue crown are good identification features, but it can be hidden in dense foliage.
When to spot
Year-round; often heard calling during the morning.
