A special visitor came flying in out of the blue

This is a Sunda Woodpecker otherwise known as the Brown Capped Woodpecker

It can be found through out South East Asia, residing in mangrove forests and, in some cases, neighbourhood parks or in the urban jungle.

It is the smallest woodpecker found locally.
