Not afraid to make itself heard. The great spotted woodpecker is equipped with a toolkit that makes it a true woodland specialist. Its strong beak and shock-absorbing skull are perfect for finding food and making its home among the trees.
It uses its powerful beak to hammer holes in tree bark and then extracts beetle larvae with its long, flexible tongue.
Males use it to hammer against dead trees, making a drumming sound. This proclaims ownership of its territory, warning off any rivals.
