Book: woodpecker artwork

The book WOODPECKERS OF EUROPE (2004) is out-of-print, and hard to find thesedays. Here is a sample, showing the excellent artwork of Szabolcs Kokay. Black Woodpecker on the cover and a plate with Great Spotted Woodpecker. 

Time for reading?

Most of us have less time outside than usual right now... so maybe do a little reading, a little research? Here is a suggestion :-)
