Sepilok is very rich in woodpeckers, you can easilly spot a woodpecker in the Sepilok RDC. The total of nine species of woodpeckers I spotted were the Rufous Woodpecker, White-bellied Woodpecker, Banded Woodpecker, Orange-backed Woodpecker, Great Slaty Woodpecker, Rufous Piculet, Buff-necked Woodpecker, Sunda Pygmy Woodpecker, and Grey and Buff Woodpecker. Brown Barbet was the only woodpecker's allies that I spotted. Following are the woodpecker pictures that I digiscoped in Sepilok RDC:

Hi Bonyou, as usual your photos are brilliant. Looks like you had a great time in Sandakan. next time take me along, I will carry the bird book and a bottle of water for you.
ReplyDeleteVera, thanks, you should go there before they become a "Green Island" surrounded by the "Green Deserts", coz the palm oil estate is slowly replacing the valuable and beautiful forest in Borneo.
