    Obviously, I don't know where to look (as I don't "do" birds) - so I've never seen one. Beautiful bird - nice find and good shot! Congrats Paul :o) Cheers, Arp Posted 5 years ago

The Black Woodpecker

The Black Woodpecker is a large woodpecker, 45–50 cm long with a 64–84 cm wingspan. Body weight is approximately 300-400 grams on average. It is easily the largest woodpecker in its range. This species is closely related to and fills the same ecological niche in Europe as the Pileated Woodpecker of North America.
