These hole pecking insect munchers,are difficult to spot

allow you to see where they've been,

as they leave a trade mark calling

card in the way of tree barks with

holes, at times so deep you can see through the hold to the other side of the bark! 

​

This woodpecker, although shy, is a very noisy animal, with a very high pitched

"Yik-yik-yik" sound, and when they are doing what wood-peckers do best, they have a low drumming sound which they use to say' hey look, this is my spot!'
