Vietnam - Morning coffee within nature, watching coppersmith barbet in city park #birding #birdphotography

Chilling at the park, sipping on coffee at my favorite spot, and guess who drops by? A cheeky Coppersmith Barbet! This little birdie isn't shy at all, casually snacking right in front of us. Gotta love those urban birds, living their best life while we enjoy ours with a side of caffeine!

That's a very serene and beautiful video of the barbet and pond heron! I like the landscapes a lot, too, especially the lotus leaves. Just in case, some members prefer that nests generally not be shown in footage/photos (of course, there are exceptions, such as your wonderful Blue-winged Pitta video from a while ago, or this one, as it seems to have been taken from an area easily accessible by people, which is fine). I do a lot of city birding myself as well, TFS.

I truly appreciate your thoughtful comment and your kind acknowledgment of my efforts on the Blue-winged Pitta story. Your encouragement means a lot to me. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.
