On one of my photography trips near Vienna I was able to watch a green woodpecker looking for ants in the grass. Unlike other Woodpeckers the European Green Woodpecker spends much of its time feeding on ants on the ground instead of pecking on trees like other birds from the woodpecker family. The birds like green grass that is not growing too high where they look for ants. It is really nice watching the bird moving around in the grass and pecking for their food there. I was able to watch this bird for several minutes and I could take a lot of pictures from it.
