🐦Great Spotted Woodpecker
Der Buntspecht (Dendrocopos major, Syn.: Picoides major) ist eine Vogelart aus der Familie der Spechte (Picidae). Buntspechte besiedeln große Teile des nördlichen Eurasiens sowie Nordafrika und bewohnen Wälder fast jeder Art sowie Parks und baumreiche Gärten. Die Nahrung wird in allen Strata des Waldes (mit Ausnahme des Waldbodens) gesucht, jedoch vor allem in den Baumkronen. Sie besteht sowohl aus tierischen Anteilen als auch, vor allem im Winter, aus pflanzlichem Material. Das Nahrungsspektrum ist sehr breit und umfasst verschiedenste Insekten und andere Wirbellose ebenso wie kleine Wirbeltiere und Vogeleier, Samen, Beeren und andere Früchte sowie Baumsäfte. Die Art ist häufig und der Bestand nimmt zumindest in Europa zu. Der Buntspecht wird von der IUCN daher als nicht gefährdet (Least Concern) eingestuft.
