VERY rarely see a Green Woodpecker but 8 pm  tonight, on our lawn - Mum feeding her young with (?) leatherjackets.

Just missed the feeding bit.

This through a not very clean kitchen window 60 feet away"!!

Yaffles are beautiful aren't they - ants are a favourite in grass.

I saw one on the ground just in front of my car last week was gutted just camera was in the back and I could not get it without disturbing the bird.  Very beautiful.

Well done Tim for getting the pic.

Lovely! there are quite a few around where I live and I have seen them on several occasions, flying from tree to tree. They are gorgeous.
2012 - Snow in February, non-stop rain till July. Blight and rot are rife. Thieving voles cause strife. But first runner beans and lots of greens. Follow an English allotment in urban France: http://roos-and-camembert.blogspot.com

We get the odd one on the allotments; they're easier to see than the Greater Spotted, which doesn't leave the bigger trees. Yaffles are a scrubland bird. I worry a bit as they can become a pest of beehives once they learn that there's an easy series of meals inside.
