🐦Great Spotted Woodpecker

Dendrocopos major (Linnaeus, 1758)

Käpytikka (Dendrocopos major) on tikkalintuihin kuuluva lintulaji. Sen levinneisyysaluetta ovat Eurooppa ja pohjoinen Aasia. Käpytikan pituus on noin 25 senttimetriä, ja sen vatsa on valkoinen ja siivissä mustalla pohjalla valkoiset poikkiraidat. Käpytikkojen lajimäärään vaikuttaa kuusen ja männyn siemensadon onnistuminen. Se pesii monenlaisissa metsissä, vaikkakin suosii havumetsiä.
