The Golden-throated Barbet is a vibrant Asian barbet, characterized by its bright green plumage, blue crown, and a distinctive golden-yellow throat patch. It inhabits montane forests.
Where to spot
Humid montane forests, forest edges, and mature secondary growth across the Himalayas and Southeast Asia, from Nepal to Vietnam.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, repetitive 'ko-ta-ruk' or 'pok-a-lok' calls. Scan the mid to upper canopy of montane forests for its bright colors, especially the yellow throat.
When to spot
Year-round; most vocal during the breeding season (typically March to July). Best observed in the early morning.
