Woodpecker


You'll have to wait until this evening for an account of my trip to Two Tree Island, with its' orange Godwits, but in the mean time I shall share this photo of the Great Spotted woodpecker who has been visiting the feeders in our garden recently. His lower mandible seems to be broken, and his upper mandible unusually extended, but this doesnt seem to affect his ability to feed from the fat log feeder. I haven't seen him since about Wednesday, but he's been a regular fixture for a month or two now, and I think he's gorgeous, so I thought I'd share a couple of photos.
