🐦European Green Woodpecker
O pica-pau-verde (Picus viridis), ou peto-verde, é uma ave da família Picidae. É o maior dos três pica-paus que ocorrem em Portugal. Caracteriza-se pela plumagem verde e amarelada, com o barrete vermelho. Distribui-se por quase toda a Europa e pela Ásia Menor. Constrói o seu ninho em cavidades de árvores. Em Portugal é uma espécie residente, que está presente durante todo o ano. Frequenta zonas florestais, nomeadamente pinhais, de preferência com algumas clareiras. Inicialmente pensada como uma subespécie deste pássaro, por terem uma plumagem bastante semelhante, afinal o pica-pau-verde-ibérico se definiu como uma espécie diferente pois as análises ao seu DNA foram distinguidas grandes diferenças.
