Green Woodpecker Bird With Music On Visit To A Park In Glasgow Scotland

Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip, with Scottish music, of a Green Woodpecker bird on visit to a park in Glasgow, Britain, United Kingdom. The green woodpecker is the largest of the three woodpeckers that breed in Britain. It has a heavy looking body, short tail and a strong, long bill. It is green on its upperparts with a paler belly, bright yellow rump and red on the top of its head. The black moustache has a red centre in males. They use their strong beak to dig into ant colonies and eat the inhabitants. Green woodpeckers spend most of their time feeding on the ground. Look out for them on your garden lawn or in parks - short grass provides good feeding opportunities for them. Like other woodpeckers, these birds breed in holes they peck in dead wood. They can be seen in England, Wales and Scotland, though they're absent from the far north and west and Ireland. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome.
