A great spotted woodpecker at his nest 7.6.2014.
The great spotted woodpecker is the most common
woodpecker in Finland. They lay 4-7 eggs in May.
Both parents incubate the eggs for 10-12 days.
Fledgelings learn to fly in 20-25 days.

Deletevad mysigt med ett hackspettbo. Jag har inte sett eller hört något i år. De kan ju vara rätt högljudda. :)
ReplyDeleteTack Monica! Jag hittade boet genom att lyssna på ungarnas skrikande. De är verkligen högljudda.
