A Japanese Pygmy Woodpecker (Dendrocopos kizuki, family Picidae) climbing a rotten tree in a mountain and pecking the decayed trunk here and there in search of wood-boring grubs to prey on. After preening itself, the woodpecker flew away from the perch. The moment of takeoff was replayed at 5x slow-motion. Captured in the sunny early-afternoon (around 13:00 PM) of early-December 2023 in Japan.
