    Nubian Woodpecker was quite common in some of the areas we visited in Ethiopia. It is a small woodpecker of drier bushland and riverine woods. The bird shown in the following pictures is a female.

    It looks as if it would blend in with the vegetation extremely well!

    I agree with the predecessor. Excellent camouflage has this woodpecker. It is difficult to spot it among the branches of trees.
    Wonderful bird and great shots!

    What a beautiful bird, David. Really unknown here. It must have been a treat to see all these magnificent species. Great shots. Have a nice weekend. Greetings, Joke.

    P.S.: I hope the snow in your area will soon disappear.
