🦉 The great spotted woodpecker (Dendrocopos major)
- Dendrocopos Greek: dendron tree, coptō to hit, beat
- major (lat.) big
Sometimes it happens that there are no birds in the forest in winter. Absolutely. You can be in the forest for a couple of hours and not find anyone. However, this woodpecker can always be found. This is the most numerous and familiar species.
In winter, they feed on both insects and plant foods. The woodpecker tries to find insects under the bark of trees, and if he does not succeed, then he does not despair, but simply eats what is currently available. Likes to peck seeds of coniferous plants from cones. And if there are no cones, then he can eat rowan or viburnum berries.
