Bennett’s Woodpecker

Bennett's Woodpecker / Woodpeckers

Campethera bennettii

After looking for this woodpecker on a number of occasions in Borakalalo National Park, I finally connected with it in February 2012 while doing a game drive with David Letsoala along the Mahonie Loop in Punda Maria, Northern Kruger. For me, this is the most beautiful of the southern african woodpeckers.
