Woodpeckers in N.Ireland?

Sally B 19/02/2015 22:45

Just joined the forum, so I hope I've put this in the right place.... anyway..... Today I saw a Greater Spotted Woodpecker!! The page linked below suggests they are not usually seen in Ireland. So I thought I'd just ask if anyone else has seen one in N.Ireland? It is fairly distinctive and I got a lovely view of it, so doubt that I have misidentified it. I am in Co.Down. http://www.rspb.org.uk/discoverandenjoynature/discoverandlearn/birdguide/name/g/greatspottedwoodpecker/index.aspx

yes .. they've been spotted / heard in Maghera - on the site of the old High School. The sound they make is amazing,
Disgracefully this site is being demolished, including the tallest Redwood tree in County Derry... to make way for an industrial park....!!!!
