Common but unpredictable

It sped in and it sped out, not the least affected that it flew just inches by me.  All it was interested was its mid-morning snack although it didn't look like its forage was successful as it flew on immediately and away.
The Common Flameback Woodpecker is a common sight in the taman, this one being a female, and of course always seen when least expected.  Its presence may be regular but is certainly not predictable.
