The earlier post on the Common Flameback (Dinopium javanense) attacking its reflection on a window pane LINK reminded Dato’ Dr Amar-Singh HSS of his 27th September 2008 encounter with another Common Flameback “protecting” a juvenile male nearby. “The wings of these gorgeous creature almost look like those of a butterfly,” wrote Amar.
“Recently our resident Banded Yellownape male has been visiting our car and pecking at the window and side mirror. …need to catch him at work in a better view,” added Amar.

Hmmmm… is it just these woodpeckers that demonstrate such behaviour? Any record of other kinds of birds trying to peck at reflective surfaces?
