I apologize in advance if images are not displayed. Leofinance buggy as hell.

🦉 The white-backed woodpecker (Dendrocopos leucotos)

📚 Dendrocopos (Greek): dendron - tree, coptō - to hit, beat
📚 leucotos (Greek): leukos - white, nōton - back

I met this funny woodpecker in autumn. It was a very difficult and difficult terrain with diseased and fallen trees. It is such places that this type of woodpeckers loves.
I saw how this female actively jumped on this tree and examined it.

Yes, she saw me, but continued to do her job. He jumps to one place, looks closely, listens, then jumps to another place, where he begins to peck at the bark and get insects out from under it.
