When the pair of Common Flameback Woodpeckers (Dinopium javanese) finally came together following sharp trills from the male, I felt drops of blessings after a rather uninspiring walk around the taman, and now notwithstanding the less than favourable photographic situation.
When the birds went their separate ways, a lower-pitched trill from another part of the taman piqued my interest.
A quick scan quickened my pace.
A family outing, with a young female!
It's delightful scene but not unusual though to see a family of four or even five out together. The Common Flameback Woodpeckers constitute the biggest brood of woodpecker family that I have seen by far to forage together even after its young have matured.
The young adult that can be easily distinguished from its parent.
