About These Birds
Arabian Woodpecker
The Arabian Woodpecker is a near-threatened woodpecker from montane forests of the Arabian Peninsula, weighing about 27 grams with a wingspan near 22 cm. It is the only woodpecker native to the Arabian Peninsula, excavating nest cavities and foraging for insects in the bark of trees in highland woodlands. Habitat loss in its restricted montane forest range poses ongoing threats.

The African Piculet is a remarkably small woodpecker with a wingspan of under 10 cm and a weight of only about 9 g. Found in West and Central African forests, it probes bark and small branches for insects with its short bill.
