:   17565
Province:   Western Cape
Country:   South Africa
Locus:   3318CD
Observer:   Maciver M
Date of record:   2015-03-22
Number of photos:   2
Notes:   This record is for unusual information only - bad photos showing an Olive Woodpecker eating berries from a Wild Peach tree. Just to show that they don't always search for insects under the bark on a tree, seemed very unusual to see this one eating plenty of berries. Photo shows one berry held in the bill of the bird.
