Maternal instincts always reign supreme in all creatures big or small.
It must have looked like a perfect foraging spot for this pair of Banded Woodpeckers who happily flew in on a blazingly bright late morning.
The huge trunk of a tree was rotten, highly probably fertile ground for grubs, highly attractive to these grub-loving woodpeckers.
Until they were rudely shocked to discover that this tree had been claimed by Oriental Magpie-Robins who came across as having built a home there already.
One of the intruders looked like it well understood the situation and decided to flee.
But not the other.
First assault!
Second assault
Third assault
Fourth assault - a deceptive move?
Not worth hanging on after all, so time to depart, finally.
