Eurasian Three-toed Woodpecker
Picoides tridactylus
Marieholmsskogens naturreservat, Småland - June 14 2009
A female Eurasian Three-toed Woodpecker by the nest hole in a birch. I found this active breeding pair, probably the southernmost ever documented in Scandinavia. I decided to monitor the nest myself and followed the young growing up and eventually leaving the nest.
