woodpecker pecking

Hi all,  I mentioned before about the woodpecker I followed into a local estate. This year I had everyone at school listening out for him, and today I heard him for the first time this year! Another member of staff had heard him a few days ago at some silly hour of the morning. (I'm an evening person so anything before 7am is early! And yes, I know I probably miss a lot!)

It always surprises me how loud the knocking is. Reminds me of a drill.
