Media notes
Brown-fronted Woodpecker female and Black-naped Woodpecker male : face to face. It was late ... late ... evening in the pristine Himalayan forest of Sat Tal ... We were moving out to reach the road where our vehicle was parked ... in an opening a tree had fallen close to the clump of bushes growing on edge ..... a Black-naped male ..... and a Brown-fronted Woodpecker female came face to face ... moving from opposite sides ... The lady ... much smaller in size, was obviously, scared of the robust looking large male ..... and slowly slid down on the underside of the bough ... away from the piercing gaze of the male of wrong species (... wrong for her ... ) ... but after assesing that he has no bad intentions ... she came back to the log again ... and started feeding peacefully ... Elevation: 1516 m. Date added to IBC: May 10, 2019.
