馃 The great spotted woodpecker (Dendrocopos major)
馃摎 Dendrocopos Greek: dendron tree, copt艒 to hit, beat
馃摎 major (lat.) big
Woodpeckers, although insectivorous birds, but in harsh and cold times they eat plant foods. In the villages, they can visit feeders and eat lard. But in the wild, they like to eat coniferous seeds.
Pine, spruce, larch cones are plucked from the branches and taken to the so-called "forges". This is a special hollowed out hole in the tree, into which woodpeckers insert a cone to make it convenient to extract the seeds.
With the advent of spring, under the trees you can find a huge number of cones under the trees on which these cones do not grow.
