The red crown reveals that this is a male Yellow-fronted woodpecker (the female has a black crown). The black "bandit mask" has given it its Swedish name ("Black-masked woodpecker"). The English name comes from a small yellow spot on the forehead (not visible in the picture). The bird is unusually colorful for a woodpecker... It is also unusual in terms of its food choice. Its diet consists mainly of berries, fruits and seeds. This is supplemented, however, by insects and their larvae. The birds have also been seen feeding their young fruit. Both fruit and insects are sometimes stored for later use.
