It was a funny day on Wed,me and a friend were out walking dogs and we heard a woodpecker.....but it was much gentler than the Greater Spotted. So we immediatly thought Lesser Spotted and how lucky we were to hear one.
So there we were searching the trees for a glimpse, we only saw rooks and gradually realised it WAS the Rooks making this tapping noise. We still dont know if they were mimicking the woodpeckers or if its part of their vocabulary.
It certainly looked like they were laughing at us as we walked off feeling quite foolish at our mistake !! ::) ;D
