This bird from the woodpecker family, unlike its relatives, is migratory and flies back at the end of April, when the insects it feeds on have already appeared.

I usually meet them in mixed forests and in an old cemetery, where there are old birdhouses in which she sometimes nests (if no one occupies it before her).
