Dendrocopos major


or to us mere mortals........The Great Spotted Woodpecker.

Birdwatch is in full swing at Manor Park. Blackbirds, finches, tits and robins are common place. However the surprise of the day was a woodpecker grazing on a feeder. I managed to take a photo which I appreciate is about as obvious and convincing as photos taken of the Loch Ness monster!! You will have to just take our word for it.

Further details of this spectacular bird can be found on this link
