Abstract
The several thousand hectares of nearly contiguous forests of the Bakony Hills, located in the middle of Transdanubia, are suitable habitats for all nine species of woodpeckers found in Hungary. In addition to literature work, field surveys were carried out to investigate the distribution of the species and the habitat types of the occurrences. During the research, it has been proven that the Great Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos major) is the most common woodpecker species in Bakony Hills, followed by the Black Woodpecker (Dryocopus martius), the Grey-faced Woodpecker (Picus canus) and the Middle Spotted Woodpecker (Leiopicus medius). The density of White-backed Woodpeckers (Dendrocopos leucotos) in the study area was surprisingly high.
