BIRD OF THE DAY

Three-toed Woodpecker (Picoides tridactylus) has circumpolar distribution in the taiga throughout the Holarctic.

It breeds throughout the northern coniferous forest belt of north-eastern Poland, the Baltic states and central Scandinavia, east to Kamchatka, Sakhalin and Hokkaido.

The three-toed woodpecker feeds mainly on insects, which it catches by hacking or poke in the bark.
