Great Spotted Woodpecker - Dendrocopos major
Well it has been a while, and lots has changed since my last post, but I could not pick-up the blogging baton again in earnest without mentioning another visitor to The Farm, a Great Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos major).
The photograph is not great I am afraid, but I think you get the idea! It makes a right din when it arrives, and it was the yakking sound that alerted me to the visit first.
He/she (?) appears to have a taste for our stable ‘clay lump walls’, or at least the insects that live in them. We have seen a pair now, fighting for space on the bird feeders in trees. They are fabulous to watch, and the colourings are very striking. I count myself very fortunate to have such a visitor!
