On encountering a Gabar Goshawk Micronisus gabar, the anti-predator behaviour of a female Cardinal Woodpecker Dendropicos fuscescens was observed. The woodpecker froze in place, adopting a stiff, upright posture. Slowly, she crept around the branch until it was between her and the goshawk. The observation is placed in context.
