Found this woody pecking a hole on the tree preparing for nesting.
It's a male bird, has been pretty hardworking working alone while the female woody is just nearby watching him.

Like any other birds, the female is usually less attractive & not so colourful compared to the male.

#7 just watch, never help.

These are just stunning Ken. Well done.

I've never seen this species before.

Where were they taken?

Amazing series, our woodpeckers don't look like that.

This is a beautiful series, Ken. I'm very impressed with the sharpness of your photos and with the presentation. Did you hand-hold the lens?

Thanks Tamia, glad you like the pics.
No, the lens is 3.2kg heavy to be handheld.

Great shots! #4 of the male is a great angle.
