Just hanging around the neighbourhood.

Easier to see yellow patch on bill and red crown

Zebra patterned back red nape yellow patch at base of upper bill

This woodpecker works in this tree daily. The tree has allot of hollow spots for insects etc.. I liked his protection the bird being in heavy twigs. "Olympus E Volt 500 40-150 mm. Auto set.

Spending a few days en France with Kingshot after an unprompted invite (honest!!). Using his lenses, hide, birds and feed - the camera is mine!! I think he has this fella almost tame. A wonderful time so far! Waiting for the bill to arrive ............

Woodpecker

Crimson-crested Woodpecker in Amazonas, Brazil

preferred habitat oak forests

One of my first photos

My two woodpeckers decided to have a punch up .shame the light was so poor

New feeding station set up still got some tinkering to do

The Female flameback was hovering around the branches and then settled down but with no pecking activity !

The Greater flameback female appeared to be in an upbeat mood. It pecked away at the branch vigorously and was hardly moved by my presence in a close proximity

Male. Uncommon resident breeder of Malaysia

This woodpecker was pegging away pretty high up in a tree in the thick forest of Attiveri Bird Sanctuary. Not the greatest of shots due to shade & mixed lighting but happy to have another lifer under my belt. I have uploaded a video of this one toiling away. Link...
