No, you're not being stalked. I'm just... foraging, too.

Darn it! Where have I landed here? In a cemetery! Well, the dead won't mind if I poke around a bit.

BOTD: Green Woodpecker

Green Woodpecker (picus viridis)

The Green Woodpecker is unusual in that it usually doesn't 'drum' on trees like other woodpecker species. It prefers to spend its time feeding on ants on the ground. At ant nests, it probes into the ground and licks up the adult ants and their larvae, using its long tongue.

Another Peckin’ Feathursday

This week we present the stately European Green Woodpecker (Picus viridis), reproduced from a painting by British bird artist Terance James Bond in his folio volume Birds, The Paintings of Terance James Bond, published in Cambridge, England by the Lutterworth Press in 1988. Bond writes:

This is the largest of the three woodpeckers that are resident in the British Isles and in my humble opinion the most handsome [no argument there]. From the illustrator’s point of view the woodpeckers are particularly pleasing birds to draw and paint. Why? Well, just look at the shape!

Much like our own Northern Flicker, the Green Woodpecker has a penchant for ground-feeding in the hunt for insects, especially ants. .Bond observes, “Green Woodpeckers are regular visitors to my lawns and I have to admit the sight of these birds hopping across the ground amidst the company of Blackbirds and Song Thrushes is rather odd.” About this painting, Bond writes:

The colours in my illustration have  been kept within the range of greens and browns, in order to make a visual feature of the only other colours in the painting, the red and black in the bird’s head. Scots pine was chosen as a background because I thought the shape of the needles echoed the dominant shape of the woodpecker’s head.
