Messiaen has written ‘Pic vert / Pic épeiche’ in his score. This caused some frustration because the score did not, at first, offer any clear view of what sound or mixture of sounds Messiaen had actually used. For instance, the cry or ‘laugh’ of a green woodpecker is very different from the short call of the great spotted wood pecker. Both of these species can produce a drumming sound but that of the great spotted woodpecker is shorter than that of the green woodpecker. The great spotted also drums more frequently than the green. Further study of the score
sug gests the drumming of the great spotted woodpecker rather than the green wood pecker
