A Blue-throated Barbet nests at wildfilmsindia bird sanctuary in western Himalaya, at Motidhar valley around Mussoorie. A Himalayan or Hill Barbet also calls clearly in the clip, so it must be sitting on an adjacent tree. The Blue-throated Barbet chips away at its nesthole-to-be, removing slivers of wood by pekcing into the rotting tree trunk, and expelling the wood in all directions around it, as it excavates a nest hole for the impending warm weather of the nesting season in spring and summer. The strong bill is used to dig into the decaying wood and as its head emerges, the expels the wood chips in both directions, as seen here in slow motion action.

The Blue-throated Barbet is a foothills Barbet that makes it way up into the middle Himalaya at Motidhar. Typically, one hears it in the foothills of the Terai and Shivaliks, or at Corbett Park if you're staying at Kanda Forest Rest House. In the plains, one has the Green Barbet and Coppersmith and in the mountains, you have the Hill Barbet. But the Blue-throated has extended its altitudinal range here to over 6000 feet around Mussoorie which is rather unusual.
