woodpecker
This is the largest of
the three woodpeckers
that breed in Britain,
weighing in at around
200g. And, as you may
have guessed, its back
is almost totally green!
It sports a striking red
hood, and the males
have a red stripe in their
black ‘moustache.’ This
woodpecker pecks holes
in dead wood to breed,
but feeds on ants off the
ground. It can be a bit
elusive, so listen out for
its loud, laughing call.CN53 RSPB.P16-18.indd 18CN53 RSPB.P16-18.indd 18 11/02/2020 14:1711/02/2020 14:17
