Eurasian Three-toed Woodpecker

Eurasian Three-toed Woodpecker

Picoides tridactylus
Marieholmsskogens naturreservat, Småland - June 29 2009
The young Eurasian Three-toed Woodpecker looking out from the nest hole. I found this active breeding pair, probably the southernmost ever documented in Scandinavia. I decided to monitor the nest myself and followed the young growing up and eventually leaving the nest.
