Wildlife and Wildlife Photography - Streak Throated Woodpecker, Kabini Dec'15

Streak Throated Woodpecker is one, which does not shy away from photography. It is a small bird with red crown, green back and white colour bellied woodpecker.

Woodpeckers are very easy to find, as you can hear them pecking into wood from long distance as well. Their pecking is so powerful, the way they peck into the wood will give you chills. This beauty was pecking the wood and we could hear it from a distance.

We reached at the spot and found a pair but soon females left and I could get the image of the male only. This was taken at Kabini in December 2015, we were into evening safari.

Kabini is a river and a corridor where the Nilgiri Biosphere is located which comprises of Bandipur Tiger Reserve, Nagarhole National Park and Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary. Nagarhole National Park is located on the kabini back waters which runs through the park. It is famous for leopards, tigers and recently for Black leopards. It is an ideal place for wildlife photography with the landscapes and natural beauty.
