The Green Woodpecker’s (Picus viridis) diet is dominated by ants. It catches the insects by probing the ground with its powerful beak and sucking them up with its long, sticky tongue. A Green Woodpecker’s tongue is so long that it coils behind its skull in order to fit inside its head.

About blackbird-sized and striking black and white. The Great Spotted Woodpecker's (Dendrocopos major) presence is often announced by its loud call or by its distinctive spring drumming display. The male has a bright red patch on the back of the head and young birds have a red crown.
