Woodpecker, Gunung Tampin

Again, the woodpecker proves to be difficult bird to shoot. Heard the pecking sound, scanned several trees top to bottom before spotting a shadow in the dense vegetation. A pair of them together, yet unable to get a clear full body shot.

Gunung Tampin birding

In between takes, a flourescent green snake hangs from the tree right in front of us.
