Adult Black Woodpecker Feeding a Fledged Juvenile on a Tree Trunk
Black Woodpecker (Dryocopus martius) filmed in Slovakia.
Footage description
A wild adult Black Woodpecker (Dryocopus martius) feeding a young, apparently fledged woodpecker on a tree trunk in a green deciduous forest in Slovakia. The two birds cling to opposite sides of the trunk, occasionally disappearing behind the tree as they reposition themselves. The adult approaches and feeds the young bird through direct beak-to-beak contact before gradually climbing upwards and leaving the frame. The sequence captures a natural interaction consistent with post-fledging parental care in this European woodland species.
