Greater Spotted Woodpecker

Greater Spotted Woodpecker celebrates one of Britain's most striking and charismatic woodland birds. With its bold black and white plumage, vibrant crimson undertail, and the male's distinctive red crown patch, this beautiful woodpecker is a garden favourite across the UK.

The rhythmic drumming of the greater spotted woodpecker echoing through woodland is one of nature's most distinctive sounds, announcing territory and attracting mates. These acrobatic birds bring energy and colour to gardens and forests, clinging to tree trunks and feeders with their powerful feet and using their chisel-like beaks to excavate insects and create nesting holes.
