[BirdPhotoIndia] More woodpecker behavior

As we know, woodpeckers have incredibly long  tongues extending backward encircling  the skull. These are sticky and bristled which enables them to extract insects from deep cavities in the wood.A few days back I was lucky enough to be able to document a female Greater Flameback doing so.
