Great spotted woodpecker
Great spotted woodpecker
The Middle Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocoptes medius), a discreet and elegant inhabitant of our old deciduous forests, is a fascinating bird for ornithology enthusiasts. This taxidermied specimen beautifully highlights the details of its plumage: its marbled black and white back, its delicately pink-streaked flanks, and for a touch of color, its famous bright red cap adorning its head.
The bird is presented very naturally, captured in a characteristic posture of its species. Displayed in its glass case, this small woodland climber becomes a delicate and charming piece, ideal for enriching a cabinet of curiosities.
