  • Duration: 01:58
  • You can often hear the distinctive sound of woodpeckers but it is not always easy to spot them. They have sharp claws so that they can cling on to the bark of trees. The children discover that woodpeckers eat insects, seeds and nuts and tap their beaks on a tree trunk to attract a mate. This Green Balloon Club clip is published as part of the CBeebies website.
