Wildlife : Birdwatching - 335
The great spotted woodpecker (Dendrocopos major)
How difficult it is to watch birds in the summer!
All of them are busy with their offspring, breeding, feeding chicks. And therefore they lead a secretive life. Some delightful singers even stop singing their songs.
Have you noticed that this woodpecker looks some strange? Yes, he has a yellow-red tint. The fact is that the summer in Siberia is hot, and the birds are forced to constantly drink and bathe in order to cool down and get rid of parasites in the feathers.
These photos were taken far away in a deep forest, there is a small river, and a nearby swamp with snot leaves and grass. Here he swam in this swamp.
