Great Spotted Woodpecker magnet
Great Spotted Woodpecker magnet
Premium Great Spotted Woodpecker (Grote Bonte Specht) fridge magnet (78x53mm) - the forest architect! This striking black, white and red bird is a keystone species, creating homes for dozens of other animals while controlling tree pests.
Why woodpeckers are ecosystem engineers:
- Excavate nest holes used by 50+ other species (owls, bats, insects)
- Control wood-boring beetles and bark insects
- Drumming communication - up to 20 beats per second
- Spread tree seeds (especially hazelnuts and acorns)
- Indicator of mature, healthy woodland gardens
How to attract woodpeckers to your garden:
- Leave dead trees standing (snags) - essential for nesting and feeding
- Plant native trees (oak, birch, pine)
- Provide suet feeders and peanuts in winter
- Create log piles for insect larvae (woodpecker food)
- Never remove old fence posts - potential nest sites
- Maintain mature trees with natural cavities
Each magnet features stunning wildlife photography, strong magnetic hold, and comes with rewilding tips. Part of our 'Backyard Heroes' collection - celebrating European wildlife that thrives when we rewild our gardens.
