Birds of Northern Thailand

  • Coppersmith Barbet Psilopogon haemacephalus

    An endless metronomic 'tuk… tuk… tuk', like a hammer on copper.

  • Lineated Barbet Psilopogon lineatus

    A rolling 'poo-tok, poo-tok' that goes on for minutes at a time.

  • Blue-throated Barbet Psilopogon asiaticus

    A fast, rhythmic 'took-a-rook, took-a-rook' from high in a fruiting tree.

  • Great Barbet Psilopogon virens

    A mournful 'pi-oo, pi-oo' repeated all day from a ridge top.

Birds of Central & Southern Thailand

  • Blue-eared Barbet Psilopogon cyanotis

    A fast, high 'tk-trrt, tk-trrt' repeated without pause.
