Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: An unusual behaviour by two woodpeckers was observed in Niepołomice Forest (SE Poland). A female middle spotted woodpecker and male great spotted woodpecker were feeding a brood in one nest hole. This was likely not a case of a hybridising pair, but rather an example of interspecific feeding
