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.

Dearest Noushka,
RépondreSupprimerWhat a lovely set of photos, especially the feeding each other.
Did you realize that the above link to your FB Page is no longer functioning?
Hugs,

Many thanks Mariette!
SupprimerI must say that when I spend time on the net, it is much pore on FB than on blogs.
I have changed my name, that is why the link was not working anymore.
I hope you are both well, hugs from France!

RépondreSupprimerGreat set of photos and although I seldom comment on FB I always enjoy your pictures. I hope all is well. I am sick of the house 24/7, thank goodness we have a fairly big garden I am beginning to wonder if we will ever go on holiday again! Take care and keep safe. Warm hugs, Diane
