Grey woodpeckers are specialised back-foragers, having chisel-tipped bills, long barbed tongues, and stiff pointed tail feathers which provide support on tree trunks. Their strong zygodactyl toes with sharp nails enable them to cling to smooth surfaces. The grey woodpecker is golden-olive and displays bright red rump and upper tail coverts in flight. They are fairly common in savanna and open woodland. The crown and nape of male is usually red; the head is grey, entirely so in female; back and wings golden olive.

The Water Thick-knee is widespread on water’s edge, long riverbanks and lake shores. They have a broad grey wing panel that are narrowly streaked with black; bordered above by narrow white and black bands. They have fine crossbars and vermiculations on the body feathers visible at close range and have a dull greenish bill base. Legs and feet are olive or greenish. Juveniles are found in pairs or small groups on open river banks to lake edges by day, especially when overcast. They are more diurnal than other Thick-knees, but most active and vocal at night.
