Blue throated Barbet -I ('Basanta Bauri' in Bengali)

Blue throated Barbet - locally, we call this colourful bird as  'Basanta Bauri'. This bird loves to eat fruits and insects. It was sucking delicious juice coming out of the date tree through the tube fitted on this on which it is sitting. 
(Earlier entry of this bird here was more colourful. This was taken in the late afternoon in low light.)
