Observation details
1 bird seen near Filfil Sabur, then pair seen, videoed and photographed well at nest site on dead tree. Hole was high up (10m) and male was watched pecking around hole for about 10 minutes. Did not enter inside. May have passed food to female inside (if she was inside) but not sure. He could have just been examining the site. Female then turned up and there was a quick, typically woodpecker call, although v. rapid, then they flew off down hill, also rapid. Altitude est. 1300m. One of only 2 records from 2 years in Eritrea. Rare Abyssinian endemic.
