Green Woodpecker

While posting the blog on Amy's birthday the other day, this bird came along next to the house and squawked at me for a while. It was quite large and dramatic to see up close. Luckily the Internet quickly identified it as a Green Woodpecker. Apparently they love ants and are common in yards. He's welcome to return to ours.

There are only 3 native woodpecker species in the UK, but apparently coming up with cool names was still too much to ask. So, Green Woodpecker, enjoy your sojourn on our blog. (must have been a baby as it still has spots)
