Fellow birdnuts!

Just want to share pics of a Coleto and a pair of Greater Flamebacks from a sortie in Subic recently.

Interestingly, the female Greater Flameback was attacking her own reflection while the male was just lazying about, pecking at the nearby tree. For a narrative of this interesting display, please visit our blog here:

The flameback behavior is an interesting capture Adri. Thanks for sharing.

Interesting to see a woodpecker, especially a flameback, away from a tree. Great capture!
