Thank you both - it's the very first time she's visited us, and I've never seen one of these woodpeckers before. We do get green ones sometimes.
Slowly but steadily, thank you Tt. x

What a handsome gent! Good thing your camera was handy!

Yes, I was lucky. I got two photos, one of which was blurry. It's a 'she' by the way, as males have red on their heads, so my book says.

What a fabulous visitor , maybe now she has found you she will become a regular :o)

I do hope so. :-))
There's been a cuckoo quite near us for the last few days - wonderful! Such a treat. :-D

Lucky you a rare sight here....

The cuckoo must have been very close - in the trees next door, I think. I wish he'd flown into our garden! I hope he stays around.

He/she was around for three days - but I haven't heard from him since. :-(
