Red Headed Woodpecker


Red Headed Woodpecker

A very uncommon visitor. They used to be plentiful but their numbers have dropped.

He? Is colourful. Hope he finds a mate.

"Certainly looks like the description on the tin"! Great photo Paul. Shame the numbers of so many lovely creatures are diminishing these days.

Thanks Alan. Yes I agree. Many plants as well are near extinction. Very sad.

Beautiful. I've never seen one, although we do see downy WPs all the time and I had three pileated WPs in my oak tree one morning. A nest in your tree would be lovely!

I haven't seen one either until the other day when I looked out my kitchen window to see one feeding at the bird feeder. I had to do a little research to find out what it was.

We are fortunate to have a pair of Green Woodpeckers in our garden...:o)))

Wow, I've never seen a green woodpecker. Would love to see a pic.

I'll see what I can do...;o) Can't promise though, they scare so easily, and my photographic skills aren't always that great...! :D
