Woodpeckers of Gambia

Now I have to admit that Woodpeckers are my favourite specie of birds !! and I had my fingers crossed of seeing as many of the eight different one`s that I could maybe see in Gambia while I was there , but as it turned out I only managed to see three of them ! with the Grey Woodpecker being the most common , the diminutive Cardinal Woodpecker and the very hard to see let alone photograph Buff-Spotted Woodpecker as they are always deep in the forest , so in the end I was quite pleased with what I saw .
