Habitat: The White-backed Woodpecker is the largest and rarest of the black and white woodpeckers. Since a few years only, individual breeding pairs have been observed in the east of Switzerland. Because of its special habitat requirements – natural forests with a great number of dying and dead trees – the occurrence of the White-backed Woodpecker is limited to remote and inaccessible forests. It has secretive habits and is most likely observed during the courtship period. [Link]
Vokalisierung: Drumming noticeably longer and more powerful than Great Spotted, with accelerated ending (similar to Three-toed Woodpecker but faster). [Link]
Rufe: Contact call similar to Great Spotted, but slightly deeper and softer; "kjuk". [Link]
