The sun had dropped below the horizon. I hurried back as the twilight glow settled. Suddenly this male Goldenback woodpecker flew onto the lower tree trunk, searching for food. He hopped upwards, pecked at something, found one hole and put his head in. He was in the hold for a few seconds. I hope he had found some dinner such as insects. He must be hungry as he hopped further up and looked for food.
No woodpeckers should be out so late hunting. He might have a brood to feed. The trees in this Countryside Park Playground had been trimmed short a few days ago. Not many insects are available now.

Smart phones cannot capture the images as the bird is high up the tree.

Woodpeckers seen again to my surprise. A couple. Managed to video some scenes for readers.
