Checker-throated Woodpecker
A family of Checker-throated WP was sighted i off the ravine about 80 ft
out. Luckily the sun came out for a short while for me and Dr Kok to see
clearly the checker marking at the throat with the chestnut reddish neck and
upper breast. Size of this bird is about 28cm or about 11 inches which is an average & common size WP. It is a lowland bird but with the high temperature nowadays it has move up to low montane forest like in Awana. They seems to keep to the higher storey which is why they are seldom sighted.
