Good job. The feathers on the peacocks neck are just amazing.

Your woodpecker is a Greater Yellownape (Picus flavinucha), of the Picidae family, i.e. woodpeckers. This is a Asian/Malaysian bird. Nice photo!

In fact they are all very nice. the 300 f/4 IS is a great lens for the money.

Thanks Ed. That makes sense since the exhibit is called Wings of Asia.
