It’s a good sunny Sunday when I visited the Hampstead Wetlands Park, saw this beautiful woodpecker busy making a new nest!
Recognised by it’s unique red hair and green body, I found this little woodpecker stay very alert while he is making the tree hollow by digging it constantly.
These photos are taken by the following gears:
- Camera : E-M1 Mark III
- Lens : Olympus M.Zuiko 100-400mm f/5.0-6.3 IS + MC-14
It’s definitely an enjoyable moment to observe the coppersmith barbet digging on the tree and preparing it’s new home!
Very beautiful and colourful woodpecker.
It stay very alert and observing the surrounding carefully…
Let me see if the space is it big enough….
Continue to work hard…
Happy with the new nest!
I will definitely come back again to see if i can spot the coppersmith barbet’s baby and happy family 🙂

What an amazing sight that must have been, how exciting! I never knew there were woodpeckers like this. We have woodpeckers eat from our sunflower seed feeder. I love when they visit.
Thank you! If I am not wrong, this woodpecker species only exist in the Indian subcontinent and part of the Southeast Asia area. I believe the woodpecker in your area is colourful and beautiful as well 🙂
Your brand of woodpecker is vey colorful. Nice shots.
Thank you! I wish next time I will have better luck to see the baby birds and the feeding as well. Will share here again if I manage to capture that moment 🙂
👍🙂
