Woodpeckers don’t sing songs, but they drum loudly against pieces of wood or metal to achieve the same effect. People sometimes think this drumming is part of the birds’ feeding habits, but it isn’t. In fact, feeding birds make surprisingly little noise even when they’re digging vigorously into wood.
@vegos_f06 The first one was maybe 10 meters away, focal length of 335mm. The second was maybe double that distance and focal length was 435 - I cropped in a fair bit on that second one.
