Summary

Description

THIS WOODPECKER WAS DIFFICULT TO SPOT BEING VERY SMALL AND VERY WELL CAMOUFLAGED. HIDING BEHIND A BRANCH AND PINE CONES IN TYPICAL WOODPECKER FASHION, SOMETIMES PEEKING FROM BEHIND. THE MOVEMENT CAUGHT MY EYE AND I WAS DELIGHTED TO CAPTURE THIS RARE SPECIES.

The Brown-capped Pygmy Woodpecker (Dendrocopos Nanus) is a species of woodpecker found in Pakistan, India and Sri Lanka.

A small brown and white woodpecker with distinctive pink-rimmed white irises. Barred brown and white above, lightly streaked dirty white below. Tail spotted white. Paler brown crown (edged red in male) and eyestripes contrasting with white supercilia and cheeks.
