Himalayas-869 : Speckled Piculet difficult shoot in canopy- Amazing Wildlife of India by Renu Tewari and Alok Tewari (Picumnus innominatus)

Dainty ... little
woodpeckers ...
... hyper dynamic
and strike the wood
with strength ... that
belies their size ...

Here ... one can see
the activity of one
moving through a
dense canopy ... in
difficult to shoot
conditions ...

A lovely wee piculet, but he didn't make life easy for you did he LOL.

That's a terrific video Renu and Alok - many thanks for showing him to us my friends.

Terrific footage of a difficult subject! The piculets in India seem as difficult as the ones in Central and South America. Top-notch Renu & Alok!

This little woodpecker certainly didn't make things easy for you, Alok & Renu. Well done for persevering!
