What's the name of that bird?

Yesterday on our way back from school, we took a secret path behind the parks and we followed a funny bird almost all the way home. It was very difficult to get near it. We tried creeping quietly but it kept flying off. It flew in a funny way, quite low on the ground and fast, from tree trunk to tree trunk, sometimes nibbling something on the grass. My mother said it was a woodpecker, but she didn't know the type of woodpecker.

This morning I asked my mother if we could look it up and we found out its name: it's a European Green Woodpecker. In Spanish they call it "Pito real". We like the red on its head. Under its green wings, its body is yellow-ish, or that's what it looked like when it was flying.

We watched a few videos too. I think this is my favourite one. Watch out for its very very very very long tongue!
