Blood-backed woodpecker's fearsome name explained

Original: Een # Bloedrugspecht (Veniliornis sangineus) klinkt erger dan het is, het is gewoon vanwege de kleur op de rug. Komt all

Birdwatchers are sharing photos of the blood-backed woodpecker (Veniliornis sanguineus), a species whose alarming name comes purely from the deep red colouring on its back rather than anything sinister. The bird is little known outside its range, as it lives only in the coastal regions of the Guyanas in South America, making sightings notable among bird enthusiasts and wildlife photographers.

Why now: Wildlife photographers are sharing images of a strikingly named and rarely seen woodpecker found only in a small South American region.
