Wow, who's that handsome fellow?

Wow, who's that handsome fellow?

I'm fairly certain that he's a Great Spotted Woodpecker.

Are you still in Canada? I think I saw that same woodpecker in a documentary yesterday, seems to be in Europe.

Well that's a coincidence. You are quite correct, that species of woodpecker does not assalt the trees of North America as far as I know.

To give you a hint as to which part of Europe that particular bird heralds from, the locals call them större hackspett.

Germany?

My guess - Sweden.

And the prize goes to Dinu!

Germany was a good guess, given the umlaut in the name, but this one hails from a little further north. Although they seem to be fairly common across europe and central asia.

Sweeden...I guess that's why they call you the TransAtlantic Goose.....
