taken during the morning, being a novice ,i thought they only stayed in trees. I have a rough video of the woodpecker digging about in the snow,which is great
Hi Ken,
Green woodpeckers do spend a lot of their time on the ground, as one of their favourite foods is ants and ant larvae. If you ever walk through an old pasture with anthills in it you may see where the sides of anthills have been excavated - there's a good chance some of the damage is by these super birds.
How lovely to have such a beautiful regular visitor
Of all creatures, man is the most detestable, he is the only creature that inflicts pain for sport, knowing it to be pain. ~ Mark Twain
He doesnt seem to be too shy,as long as you keep your distance
If its not worth doing today,is it worth doing at all
