Campethera punctuligera (Fine-spotted Woodpecker)

Contents

Wikipedia Abstract

The fine-spotted woodpecker (Campethera punctuligera) is a bird. It is a widespread and frequently common resident breeder in much of west and central tropical Africa. It is a species associated with open forest and bush. It nests in a tree hole, often in an oil palm, laying two or three white eggs. Like other woodpeckers, this species has a straight pointed bill, a stiff tail to provide support against tree trunks, and zygodactyl or “yoked" feet, with two toes pointing forward, and two backward. The long tongue can be darted forward to capture insects.
