The black woodpecker is an impressing sedentary bird, which is already noticeable when looking at its appearance and its size. It is the size of a crow actually! Besides a red skullcap on the male black woodpecker and a red top on the female black woodpecker, the species is pitch-black – just as most of the crows. The drumming of the black woodpecker is as heavy and impressing as its size, and the drumming of the bird can actually be heard a pair of kilometers away. Moreover the black woodpecker has an impressing high voice.<\/p>\n
The black woodpecker breeds in most of Northern Europe, Central Europe and Eastern Europe. In Denmark the black woodpecker is a species few in number and it is mostly found in Northern Jutland and Southern Jutland.<\/p>\n
As other woodpeckers the black woodpecker also uses its beak to shape the nest in trees, and it prefers to build a new nest each year.<\/p>\n
The black woodpecker lives on ants, and it sticks around 1000 ants to its tongue, and these ants then constitute one whole meal for the black woodpecker.<\/p>\n
The black woodpecker is seen all year round, but it is very shy though!<\/p>\n
Especially in the beginning of the breeding period around April, we often can hear its voice in the forest.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
