27th April..... Green Woodpecker.

Watching the blackbirds on Saturday afternoon, there are two pairs around the garden and sometimes they tolerate each other, at other times it's like watching formula one as they chase each other round and round.  Two well grown young blackbirds turned up.

While we were watching these  my wife spotted a green woodpecker land on the fence rails and hop down into our little wild area. I had an idea where it was heading for and managed to watch it for maybe five minutes anting.
