🦉 The great spotted woodpecker (Dendrocopos major)
- Dendrocopos Greek: dendron tree, coptō to hit, beat
- major (lat.) big
The most common and widespread species of woodpecker, which can be found always and everywhere, in any forests and groves. These photos show a female; sexual dimorphism is expressed in the presence or absence of a red spot on the back of the head.
The best time to observe them is spring and fall, as the rest of the year they are either active in the treetops or secretive, tending to their young.

А ты слышал как дятлы "смеются"? как они поют?
Смеются? Скорее всего их сигнал опасности люди почему-то воспринимают как смех. Петь то они не поют, долбят поверхности, деревья, если повезет то и фонарные столбы
