Bird Photos: Japanese Pygmy Woodpecker + GIF

Discovered at Kin Dam

 

 

In Japanese these birds are called, Kogera (コゲラ).

Scientific name: Dendrocopos kizuki

 Catching one of these little peckers, in good light, made my day.

When a second one came along and landed in the same tree, I kept on shooting.

They gave me enough images to compile this animation for you.
