My fave woodpecker, the Green Woodpecker.

Saw a pair today grabbing insects from the short trees and shrubs.

@JimsPhotos@ohai.social Cool! Why a fave?

@kolombiken@front-end.social We have 3 Woodpeckers here, 2 of which look very similar. The green is larger and more vibrant, but mainly I love the Green Woodpecker due to the laugh sound it makes as it flies...

@JimsPhotos@ohai.social Got it!
It does have a fun sound. I also kind of like that the drumming sounds like it needs a bit more practice.

Here we have two different green ones. Green woodpecker and Grey-headed woodpecker. Then we have the Black woodpecker and four different kinds of ”white and black” woodpecker.

@JimsPhotos@ohai.social Great birds, so difficult to photograph over here. Lovely shot.

@khusky@shmg.online Thanks. Definitely not easy to photography. I was shooting through fairly dense leaves for this one.
