In fact, Big Ben is the largest of the six bells of Westminster Palace in London. But it has long been associated with the name of the Clock Tower, which in September 2012 was officially called “Elizabeth Tower”. The decision to rename the tower was made by the British Parliament to mark the 60th anniversary of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II.

The tower was built in 1858. The project architect was Augustus Pugin. The height of the tower and spire is 96.3 m.

На самом деле, Биг Бен – это самый большой из шести колоколов Вестминстерского дворца в Лондоне. Но уже давно это название ассоциируют с Часовой башней, которую с сентября 2012 года официально называют «Башней Елизаветы». Решение переименовать башню было принято британским парламентом в честь 60-летия правления королевы Елизаветы II.

Башня возведена в 1858 году. Архитектор проекта – Огастес Пьюджин. Высота башни со шпилем 96,3 м.

Woodpeckers are part of the family Picidae, a group of near-passerine birds that also consist of piculets, wrynecks, and sapsuckers.
Members of this family are found worldwide, except for Australia, New Guinea, New Zealand, Madagascar, and the extreme polar regions.
Most species live in forests or woodland habitats, although a few species are known that live in treeless areas, such as rocky hillsides and deserts, and the Gila woodpecker specialises in exploiting cacti.

Members of this family are chiefly known for their characteristic behaviour. They mostly forage for insect prey on the trunks and branches of trees, and often communicate by drumming with their beak, producing a reverberatory sound that can be heard at some distance.
