This book describes the natural and cultural history of an iconic
and unusual woodpecker – a species that nests in tree cavities
but which forages mostly on the ground. The Green Woodpecker, known
in folk English as the Yaffle, is afforded comprehensive coverage
in this work, with information on its origins, taxonomy, anatomy,
appearance, moult, calls, distribution, conservation status,
habitats, movements, breeding, diet and relationships with other
wildlife and humans all presented. The text is richly illustrated
throughout with quality photographs as well as sound spectrograms.
Many eye-opening observations of Green Woodpecker behaviour are
detailed. This all-encompassing and engaging account has been
written for a wide audience, whether professional ornithologist,
citizen scientist, amateur birder, woodpecker aficionado or simply
someone who wishes to learn more about this curious and remarkable
bird.
