The Black Woodpecker is a mysterious forest bird with a secretive lifestyle. Each year, it excavates a new nesting cavity in large deciduous trees, which makes it particularly difficult to locate and follow from season to season. In doing so, it provides nesting sites for Tawny Owls, Pine Martens, and many other species.
They are shy birds and will quickly fly off when they notice a human presence, or remain hidden on the far side of a tree trunk.
The drumming of the Black Woodpecker is slower, longer, and deeper than that of the Great Spotted Woodpecker — resembling the sound of a machine gun.
