Green Woodpecker

The Green Woodpecker spends much of its time feeding on ants on the ground and does not often 'drum' on trees like other woodpecker species. It is a shy bird but usually draws attention with its loud calls. A nest hole is excavated in a tree; four to six eggs are laid which hatch after 19–20 days.

The Green Woodpecker is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

Green Woodpecker - Picus viridis This bird, with its rich, beautiful voice, makes some of my favourite woodland sounds. There's nothing quite like being woken by one calling loudly from just a few feet away after a long night recording owls! Here's a medley of calls made the morning after I'd been doing just that on 11 May 2006. I've seen this fella chasing one of our tawnies through the wood during the day. More

There is no question, the green woodpecker is one of the most colourful of all the birds native to Britain. More

As you can see, the lawn is not up to much in the way a 'lawn' in a garden is meant to be. This is mainly because it is a patch of land reclaimed from woodland, to separate the house from the trees... More
