After a rather long hike through a forested area and temporarily dectivating a boar trap, a walk along Ubin's Jelutong mangroves was a welcome relief. These reddish-brown birds caught our attention as they flew through the mangrove trees. It was my first time seeing these Rufous Woodpeckers and there were four of them. I did not see all four of them but PH said that he counted four. They were about for about a minute before they flew further into the mangrove thicket. Rufous woodpeckers are common on the Indian subcontinent but they are not so common in Singapore.
