Black woodpecker's sound (1 Viewer)

[JayFeatherPL]

When does the black woodpecker make this sound? Because I hear it very rarely, much less than the other sounds of this birds, why?

One bird was sitting in the top of a dead tree in a beech forest, (Fagus sylvatica), singing and pecking. Then arrived the second bird in the same tree and a loud duet was heard. Then the second bird flew away again. Probably a couple ready for breeding. In the neighborhood you find big spruce...

xeno-canto.org

XC125350 Black Woodpecker (Dryocopus martius)

3 individuals (1 male, 2 females) fighting

xeno-canto.org

Its names include 'jackdaw', 'ke-jak' (🇭🇺) or 'Kijak' (🇩🇪) (ki-yack), 'peough', 'tawny owl', 'eagle' and 'mewing' call.

Apparently, it means either aggression (male to male, towards GSW, and--possibly--other kinds), or sexual motivation (male or female), or--possibly--serves other communication purposes (social / contact call; male to female, male to juveniles???). It can occur next to drumming or song and can be given by both sexes (also in a duet or even trio?). An interesting alternative hypothesis here: XC165636 Black Woodpecker (Dryocopus martius) (also, it could be a display call). Coincidentally (or maybe not?) the begging call sounds a bit like a weaker version of this call:

XC261913 Black Woodpecker (Dryocopus martius)

Probably a young. Part of a small family group (3-4 birds).

Or maybe it's not one but many similar, slightly different calls with different meanings.

Any clarification welcome.

I think this is a call of an excited Black Woodpecker (for whatever reason). I hear it very little – mostly in spring. I believe I also heard this call in response to a Goshawk coming way too close!
