drumming White-backed Woodpecker

 Today the weather forecast predicted nice, sunny and calm weather. So I went out to Kjenes edellovsskog on Lindås to try to record drumming of White-backed Woodpecker.

It took me about two hours to find a steady White-backed after seeing some flyby's and hearing distant drumming. Being pasient (I didn't use playback because it can have the opposite effect) I recorded both drumming and calls of a female. Happy about that. You can hear the results below. Otherwise a distant calling Nutcracker, a calling White-tailed Eagle, a noisy pair of Great Spotted Woodpeckers, three Nuthatches and at least three singing Marsh Tits.
