Where to spot
Humid evergreen forests, particularly in the dense mid-canopy, in the Western Ghats of southwestern India.
How to spot
Listen for its low, repetitive 'pok-pok-pok' calls. Look carefully in dense foliage for its plain green plumage, which provides excellent camouflage. Patience is crucial.
When to spot
Year-round; often heard calling during the early morning.

Despite its common name, the 'Small Green Barbet' is not always tiny, but it is smaller than other similarly green, but more ornate, barbets in its range.
