My father used to quote a poem about a woodpecker in a telephone pole. I can't even remember who wrote it. Really good pictures!
I was just going to ask if you had also photographed the woodpeckers below the parrots! Love the video.
Thanks Ian...just added a short video I forgot to attach.
Beautiful spotting!
