🦉 The grey-headed woodpecker (Picus canus), also known as the grey-faced woodpecker
📚 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
📚 canus (lat.) gray
This species of woodpecker is quite rare, and I don't see it often. As a rule, it is easiest to see it in late autumn and winter.
He looks rather unusual, unlike his fellow woodpeckers, he also has a completely different voice, a bit reminiscent of the voice of birds of prey. And yet, I have not seen him as part of mixed bird flocks. Only singly or in pairs.
And one day in late autumn I saw a great spotted woodpecker attack and drive away a gray woodpecker. They are usually more patient with other birds. But then I realized why these woodpeckers are so lonely.
