Tweet Take 5 : Great Spotted Woodpecker
An extended version of Tweet of the Day featuring the great spotted woodpecker with Chris Packham, Brett Westwood and Chris Baines.
It was only in the 1930's that it was finally proved that great spotted woodpeckers use their bill to provide that familiar drumming sound in woodlands during late winter and early spring. These birds are one of conservation success stories as their population is increasing even in urban landscapes, as we'll hear in this extended version of the series featuring Chris Packham, naturalist Brett Westwood and Professor Chris Baines.
