WOODPECKER 7/24 - Lesser Yellow-naped Woodpecker

                                                         Lesser Yellow-naped Woodpecker

 It 's been awhile for me to get another Woodie lifer.,,,,,as the list shorten. Smaller than the Greater Yellow -naped by a good 5-10cm. Belly has banding with a whitish moustache streak

It was a lagger in the bird wave of Minivets, Yuhinas and even the little Cuckoo Dove was in the fly pass. The bunch of MNS birders of 20 plus strong created more excitement and cries of wanting to know what is what. The spectacular show lasted for a good 20 minute .
