Nature in Făgăraș Mountains: The woodpeckers in Romania

Romania-Insider.com is publishing a series of articles about wildlife in Romania, zooming in on the wild animal and plant species in the Fagaras Mountains area. This editorial series is sponsored by the Foundation Conservation Carpathia.

The woodpeckers are common birds that can be found almost everywhere in the world, including in Romania, with the exceptions being areas such as Australia, New Zealand, Madagascar, and extreme polar regions. And while most people know them as the birds knocking the trees in search for food, these birds are much more than that.
