20200204 凯恩戈姆斯国家公园格伦菲什的苏格兰松树上，巨大的斑点啄木鸟

这只黑白相间的美丽的啄木鸟是一只巨大的斑点啄木鸟，它是英国发现的三种啄木鸟之一。它在英格兰和威尔士很普遍，尽管它紧紧地抓住了高地凯恩戈姆国家公园的一棵苏格兰松树。由于它的左右趾足，它很适合这样做。两根脚趾面朝后，两根向前，而坚硬的尾羽也有助于它的抓地力。一旦被牢牢锁定，它就可以开始做它最擅长的工作——用喙撞击树干和电线杆——以独特的“击鼓”方式，每秒多达40次，目的是击退对手并寻找配偶。

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.
