Exploring the World of the Greater Spotted: From Cornwall to Finland, these woodpeckers leave their mark on trees across the UK and beyond. Pictured here is a female Great Spotted Woodpecker in Cornwall, showcasing her vibrant plumage. In Scotland, another Great Spotted Woodpecker perches gracefully on a silver birch tree trunk. Meanwhile, a male woodpecker in Finland finds sustenance on a dead branch after a long winter. Moving to Norfolk, England, an adult male forages on a fencepost in January while another searches for food on a snowy dead tree trunk in Bialowieza National Park. Not only adults but also juveniles partake in this feeding frenzy; one is captured feasting on a rotten stump in Norfolk during June. These remarkable birds are not afraid to explore unusual perching spots - from spade handles and rusty farm machinery in West Yorkshire to clinging onto branches in Warwickshire. The Greater Spotted Woodpeckers truly exemplify nature's resilience and adaptability.
