馃 The grey-headed woodpecker (Picus canus), also known as the grey-faced woodpecker

馃摎 Picus (lat.) woodpecker; in Romanesque mythology, Peak, or Picus, the Roman god of forests and the king of Latium, distinguished by male beauty, rejected the love claims of the sorceress Circe (Kirka), after which the offended Kirka turned him into a woodpecker
馃摎 canus (lat.) gray

I do not meet this species of woodpeckers often, I would even say not every year. Actually, this woodpecker is rare for some reason.

It is very different from other species of woodpeckers that I meet in our forests. Naturally, this is his appearance, the color of the plumage is yellow-green like a greenfinch, the color of the eyes is slightly reddish, and of course his melancholy voice.
