Woodpeckers general information

Woodpeckers are among the most attractive forest dwellers due to their attractive appearance. With their distinctive drum roll and their work marks (chopping and building activity) on the trees, they are recognizable to observers. The Tiroler Lech Nature Park is home to several protected woodpecker species.

Both the Three-toed Woodpecker and the Black and Grey Woodpeckers are listed in Annex I of the Birds Directive (Directive 2009/147/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 November 2009 on the conservation of wild birds).
