Camouflage

This amazing shot was clicked in Sept 2014 in Mumbai. When I was having my tea, I noticed it & calmly but quickly I rushed towards my camera.

These birds are known as Barbets, they are tiny birds with a large head and a broad beak, often seen on trees that are fruiting. The crimson-breasted barbet, also called “Coppersmith Barbet” (तांबट in Marathi), with a black eyestripe and crimson and green colouration, is very common across India.

Due to their green colour they are easily camouflaged in surrounding trees. Then how do I able to capture it perfectly?
