I wondered if I had stepped through some strange portal into another reality. I had never seen such a large woodpecker and did not know these even existed.

When it flew past me, in a forest, I couldn't tell what it was and it startled me. When it was moving about on the surface of the tree, it sounded like a cat scrambling around whilst clinging to the bark. It was very strange moment.
