This bird, so far as my experience goes, differs from other 
Woodpeckers in its preference for patches of dense forest. 
It is rather shy.

I again saw a very large number of these birds, apparently 
on migration, on the Upper Lufira Biver, on November 24, 
1907. This date is therefore thirteen days later and the 
locality some three hundred miles north-west of the obser¬ 
vation made on the first expedition (loc. cit. p. 51).
