How To Find Woodpeckers (And What I Found Was Incredible)

Spring is without a doubt the best time of year to find woodpeckers in the forest. As the season changes, the woods come alive with sounds and subtle signs that can reveal exactly where they are — if you know what to look for. In this video, I head out into the forest to search for woodpeckers, sharing the exact things I pay attention to along the way. From drumming sounds to fresh nest holes, I walk you through how I approach finding these incredible birds in the wild. What starts as a normal day quickly turns into something truly special… including an unexpected encounter with one of Europe’s rarest woodpeckers. If you’ve ever wanted to find woodpeckers yourself — or simply enjoy spending time in nature — I hope this video gives you both inspiration and a few useful tips.
