| Ground Woodpecker - Geocolaptes olivaceus | Lynette Rudman | 2015-10-16 | Central Karoo DC, Central Karoo DC, Western Cape, Western Cape (South Africa) (1200 m) | Territorial call, alarm call - Two types of calls in this recording. First is the alarm call of the Ground Woodpecker, followed 3/4 of the way through by the territorial call. The bird was perched on a branch of a shrub in Acacia scrubland. I suspect they may have had a nest nearby. The mate was in the vacinity. bird-seen:yes playback-used:no
