Brown-fronted Woodpecker (34211114980)

Description:

Description: Visiting Landsdowne Cantonment in Pauri Garhwal District of Uttarakhand, India is a pleasure. This is a quaint little Cantonment, the home of the Garhwal Rifles, one of the most decorated Infantry regiments of the Indian Army is caught in a time warp!. The Military Authorities and the Cantonment Board have lovingly preserved the old time character of the hill station. No commercialization. Period. The undisturbed forest around the top of the hill near the small Saint Mary's Church is a dream birding location. A Brown-fronted Woodpecker pair tending to their newly hatched chicks was a great pleasure to watch. This female posed for us near the nest! April 2017. Date: 24 April 2017, 06:49.
