It is hard to imagine any birder not liking woodpeckers – they are the “motherhood and apple pie” of the avian world. The Bearded Woodpecker (Mkuze, South Africa) does not really look any more bearded than many other woodpeckers. It is the most widespread woodpecker in Africa, claims the HBW.

JOHOR, MALAYSIA, DECEMBER 2012 – If you’re traveling to Singapore for birding, you might want to think outside the box or, in this case, the island. Now that’s a tropical woodpecker… Crimson-winged Woodpecker. Eager to see all of the aforementioned avifauna, I reached out to the man with the Panti plan.

It was a heart-pounding scene straight out of Jurassic Park, an odd experience for a laid-back pursuit like birding. The Singapore island of Pulau Ubin is a reliable location for Red Junglefowl, the roosters of which are dashingly handsome but unexpectedly wary… I guess that’s how they stay wild!
