In the UK we have a mere three resident woodpeckers, but in the vicinity of Kerkini it’s not difficult to find all of Europe’s peckers except the Three-toed.

They raise their trunks, sniffing the air. Related to starlings, like woodpeckers they move over large mammals feeding on ticks, but also on their hosts’ blood. Nowadays, the Savannah Elephants are shorter and with smaller tusks, often without them. Sniffing us. A flock of Red-billed Oxpeckers is flying above.

What could motivate gunmen (I cannot call them hunters) in two states to deliberately kill North America’s tallest and most critically endangered bird?
