This bird can hammer into hardwood trees like a tiny feathered forester.
The Greater Yellownape is a remarkable bird of the lush forests of tropical Asia. Its olive-green body, striking golden-yellow crest, and strong straight bill make it instantly recognizable as it moves up and down tree trunks searching for ants and grubs hidden beneath the bark. It can even drum loudly against dead wood while foraging, creating a rapid rhythm echoing through the green canopy.
A tireless drummer of the woodlands, proving that some birds know every secret hidden within the ancient timber.
