Spotted
The Grey-and-buff Woodpecker is a distinctive species with a stout body, short tail, and unique plumage patterns featuring grey and buff tones. It is known for its habit of foraging on large branches and tree trunks.
Where to spot
Inhabits tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, evergreen forests, and occasionally plantations across Southeast Asia, including the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, and Borneo.
How to spot
Look for it climbing and clinging to large tree trunks and branches, often spiral-climbing. Listen for its rather weak drumming or distinctive calls, which can help in locating this often unobtrusive bird within dense forest.
When to spot
Active throughout the year during daytime hours. Observation is generally good in the mornings and late afternoons when birds are most actively foraging.

This woodpecker has an unusual, almost 'stub-tailed' appearance, which makes it less reliant on its tail for support than typical woodpeckers, allowing for more agile movements on tree surfaces.
