🦉 The lesser spotted woodpecker (Picoides minor , synonym of Dryobates minor)

• Dryobates (Greek) : druos - forest, woodland, batēs - walker, stroller
• minor (Latin) - smaller

These cute little woodpeckers, in addition to their small size (about the size of a sparrow), differ from their large spotted relatives in that they lack red undertails (red panties).
Also, pay attention, they have some brown spots on the sea. No, this is not feathers, this is just dirt from rotten bark.

They are not able to peck thick, strong tree bark as other woodpeckers do. Therefore, they get their food on the branches of trees and bushes, where the bark is thin. In addition, they inspect rotten, diseased trees with brittle rotten bark, where they actually get dirty spots on their faces.
