The suburban tapper

Blending in where orchards meet rooftops, the Syrian Woodpecker is a charming bird often seen around the foothills of the Vršac Mountains. Unlike its forest-dwelling relatives, it prefers gardens, weekend cottages, and village outskirts. Though not a frequent visitor to our hides, it occasionally appears for a quick snack at the feeding sites. Watchful photographers may catch its soft tapping in quieter corners of the countryside.
