Grey capped pygmy woodpecker

[Kaustuv Chatterjee]

This was part of the 'bird wave' mixed hunting party at Sitavani, Ramnagar forest reserve. This shot shows the camouflage of the bird's colours, almost blending with the tree branch.

Nice to see this species. Maybe a slight more head turn towards you would have enhanced the eye contact further. Some more details in the bird would have been good. Is this a crop? Thanks for sharing.

Nice to see this one. Cute one. The background is nice. A better eye contact would have been great. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
