White-backed Woodpecker
Taken on 09/11/2019
Taken by my relative in a suburban garden in Helsinki last November. Notable because the white-backed woodpecker is one of Finland’s most endangered forest birds, whose population was estimated to be only 30 pairs twenty years ago. This summer, the woodpecker population has grown to more than 250 nesting pairs, and 140 broods were confirmed. One reason why the population has increased in Finland is a record mass migration across the Russian border in autumn 2015. In Russia, the population is strong.
