Grey headed woodpecker



This morning i heard a sweet bird call coming from the Deodar tree in my backyard. I had not noticed this call before. Soon a pair of grey headed woodpeckers appeared. This woodpecker is distinguished by the grey sides of the head. The underparts are greenish and without scaling. The male has a red crown whereas the female has black one. the bird is about 30cms in size and found in moist subtropical and temperate forests.
