這只黑白相間的美麗的啄木鳥(niǎo)是一只巨大的斑點(diǎn)啄木鳥(niǎo)，它是英國(guó)發(fā)現(xiàn)的三種啄木鳥(niǎo)之一。它在英格蘭和威爾士很普遍，盡管它緊緊地抓住了高地凱恩戈姆國(guó)家公園的一棵蘇格蘭松樹(shù)。由于它的左右趾足，它很適合這樣做。兩根腳趾面朝后，兩根向前，而堅(jiān)硬的尾羽也有助于它的抓地力。一旦被牢牢鎖定，它就可以開(kāi)始做它最擅長(zhǎng)的工作——用喙撞擊樹(shù)干和電線桿——以獨(dú)特的“擊鼓”方式，每秒多達(dá)40次，目的是擊退對(duì)手并尋找配偶。

This black-and-white beauty is a great spotted woodpecker, one of three woodpecker species found in Britain. It is widespread in England and Wales, although this one is firmly gripping onto a Scots pine tree in Cairngorms National Park in the Highlands. With its zygodactyl feet, it is well equipped to do so. Two toes face backward and two forward while stiffened tail feathers also help its grip. Once it is firmly locked on, it can get to work doing what it does best - battering its beak against tree trunks - and telegraph poles - up to 40 times a second in a distinctive “drumming” display designed to repel rivals and find a mate.
