This migratory bird, first recorded in 1585, spends the winter in tropical Africa and nests in hollow trees or in walls, feeds on ants and their larvae but also on different insects and berries.

Torcol fourmilier – Migrateur, il passe l’hiver en Afrique tropicale. A son retour, il niche dans des trous d’arbre ou de mur et se nourrit de fourmis et de leurs larves mais \u00e9galement d’insectes, d’araign\u00e9es ou de baies. Les premi\u00e8res donn\u00e9es sur cet oiseau remontent \u00e0 1585.<\/p>\n

Un des plus petits Picidae, il fait environ 17 cm de long et comme son nom l’indique, il ondule son cou comme un serpent en \u00e9tat d\u2019excitation ou de reproduction.<\/p>\n
