The Sunda Pygmy is the smallest amongst the Woodie in Malaysia minus the Piculets of course. It is very common at coastal plains along Peninsula. In June 2015 we found a nesting in a dead tree trunk in Jeram. Both the parents tends to feeding of their hatchling but the female do more trips to the nest than the male. The male has a red tinge to its brow.
Later at another mangrove patch near the rivermouth of Sg Janggut; a party of five were sighted where we witness the 3 juveniles were chasing the parents for food as they forage up down the root bark and high storey of the mangroves trees.
