Campethera bennettii
Botswana, Okavango
On le trouve dans les savanes boisées de la partie centrale de l'Afrique australe. Il est insectivore comme tous les pics et se régale surtout de termites.
Bennett's woodpecker is found singly, in pairs or in family groups.
It mostly forages on the ground, either bare or with short grass, and
also feeds in trees. It mostly eats ants and termites, including their
eggs. Breeding occurs from August to February. The woodpecker excavates or
reuses holes in trees. Three eggs are laid and then incubated for 15 to
18 days.
