Ratel's photos #47 Forest Birds-27
The Eurasian wryneck (Jynx torquilla)
Very strange and unusual woodpecker.
Yes, this is the woodpecker!
The peculiarity of this bird is that it:
Firstly, it has an excellent invisible natural camouflage. It is worth it to sit on a tree, as it will be difficult to see because of the coloring under the bark.
Secondly, and this is the most interesting and unusual, it at times ruffles the feathers on the head, stretches the neck, and starts to rotate it from side to side, while loudly hissing! Thus, she tries to imitate a snake in the hope of frightening the enemy.
Just look on YouTube!
Here, for example, video:
Looks pretty creepy :)
