Abyssinian Woodpecker
This miniscule woodpecker is only found in Ethiopia and Eritrea, and even within its limited range it is uncommon. We managed to find a nest and here is the female paying a visit. The male has a red crown but I didn't manage a decent shot of him. They inhabit high altitude Juniper woodlands, which is exactly the habitat where this was taken at Dinsho nature reserve. I have just typed in the scientific name into Flickr's search engine and only 16 photos appeared, with only one at a nest hole, so I thought this was worth sharing. I hope you agree.
