Captivating Grey-Headed Woodpecker (Picus canus) braves the falling snow on a tree trunk in Kalvtrask, Vasterbotten. Its striking appearance stands out among the wintry landscape, showcasing its unique grey head and elegant plumage. This woodpecker species is often seen alongside the Great Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos major), creating a beautiful contrast of colors and patterns. In flight, the Grey-Headed Woodpecker displays its graceful wingspan as it navigates through the Finnish skies during October and January. Anjalankoski witnessed this magnificent bird in action back in 2007, capturing its essence with stunning precision. From Poland to Finland, these woodpeckers are known for their resourcefulness while foraging for food amidst nature's bounty. Even perched upon snowy branches, they remain resilient and adaptable to their surroundings. Helsinki has been fortunate enough to witness these Harmaapaatikka birds up close, marveling at their beauty and presence within urban landscapes too. Picture No. 11672627 and Picture No. 11672626 serve as timeless reminders of our coexistence with such remarkable creatures.
