Woodpeckers are fascinating birds, filling our forests with their
unmistakable drumming, and capturing our imaginations with their
incredible ability to drill holes in trees and their bright,
colourful plumage. Three species of woodpecker are resident in the
UK: the Green Woodpecker, often seen on lawns and in fields; the
Great Spotted Woodpecker, a frequent visitor at garden
bird-feeders; and the tiny Lesser Spotted Woodpecker, sadly now in
decline. The Wryneck - which twists its neck 'like a snake' when
threatened - also passes through the UK on its yearly migration and
has captivated people throughout the ages. Gerard Gorman provides a
close-up look at the lives of these birds, from their anatomy, diet
and nesting habits to their iconic drumming behaviour. He also
explores the relationship that humans have enjoyed with woodpeckers
for centuries, in folklore, myth and conservation, and gives tips
on how to observe these wonderful birds in the wild. The Spotlight
series introduces readers to the lives and behaviour of our
favourite animals with eye-catching colour photographs and
informative expert text.
