Grey-headed Woodpecker

Picus canus

You could almost call it the acoustic equivalent of the Aurora Borealis. The sound of thick ice twanging, humming and cracking on a lake can be quite otherworldly. Add the song of a Grey-headed Woodpecker Picus canus and the result is one happy sound recordist.

Magnus talks about his experience sound recording Grey-headed Woodpecker in Sweden
