white. Woodpeckers are for the most part unsocial birds, as 

 regards their own species ; but frequently they may be seen 

 in company with Nuthatches, Creepers, Tits, and some other 

 birds of similar habits. 



Four species occur in Britain, but of these one has been 

 seen only in a very few instances, and the species which is 

 most common in some districts is not generally distributed.
