After this video …
After this video was taken, the female woodpecker was hurt (hard to see in the video), later the male woodpecker tried as well, but we had to leave.
Our guides said that the female woodpecker is doomed since it was bleeding and the predators in the jungle will smell it ..
So, I would say the snake won

This is without doubt the greatest wildlife video I have seen on YouTube. Exciting. Dramatic. You must’ve had great guides and great companions.
