🦉 The great spotted woodpecker (Dendrocopos major)

📚 Dendrocopos Greek: dendron tree, coptō to hit, beat
📚 major (lat.) big

Now is the time to watch how the youngling
the birds grow. They are already teenagers and are just starting to take their first steps towards adulthood.
I saw this baby woodpecker in the grass. He jumped and looked around. Probably learned whether it is possible to find something in the grass to eat.

And his dad was nearby. He got food, insects from an old broken tree. Then the young woodpecker, having found nothing, jumped onto a tree and began to sit patiently there, waiting for the parent with food.
