The Green Woodpecker is a large and distinctive species native to most of Europe and as far east as Iran. It lives in lowland forests, mainly in mature trees. Like most woodpeckers, it feeds on insect larvae by pecking holes in dead trees with its powerful bill. It is very secretive and is more often heard than seen. It has a high pitched laughing call which has led to it being called the Yaffle in some areas.
