....... this beauty:
I love the claws!
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
CLARE - what is it? I don't have the 'Knowledge' - afraid to say woodpecker.
Great spotted woodpecker. You do have the 'Knowledge'!!
And female, because no red spot on top of her head.....we know, because we have woodpecker visitors now and then on our feeders, although I suspect that we're not seeing them every day because they're probably coming mostly at dawn before we get up!!
Lovely, Clare :-)
That is a lovely Dangle to find Clare!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Very nice.

Always better to catch them on trees rather than feeders where I mostly get them.

Well done Clare, they are lovely birds to see as they hammer the wood and hunt for insects, etc,
