Where to spot
Widespread across Europe and parts of western Asia. Found in open woodlands, parks, orchards, large gardens, and pastures with scattered trees, especially where ants are abundant.
How to spot
Listen for its unmistakable loud, laughing 'yackle' call. Look for it on the ground near ant hills or climbing low on tree trunks. Observe its bounding flight with deep undulations.
When to spot
Can be observed year-round in its resident range. Most vocal and active during the breeding season (spring) when its 'yackle' call is frequently heard.

The European Green Woodpecker primarily feeds on ants, flicking them up with its long, sticky tongue from ant nests on the ground, making it a ground-foraging woodpecker.
