SBG - Two colorful woodpeckers at one shot Feb 23 2012

White gum belly buttons

SUNDAY 23 FEB '14 3PM.

I didnt hear the tud tud sound like before ... but saw a flicker of a dark bird in the branches. A maron dark red shadow.. when i saw the crest i know it is a wood pecker.  Then another red crested woodpecker flew in. I am sure they are eyeing at each other but they didnt interact like a pairing up same species.


Forest Bell Creeper
I spent some time here shooting the banded woodpecker and video the common flameback doing the hopping down the tree trunk hunting for insects. Passers-by  didnt notice what i was doing.

This is the very first thing i noticed in the foliage. Something stirred among the leaves. For the next few minutes i was facing with not one but two woodpeckers.

The keen eyes will notice two insects on its tail.
