October 2018 Love the way Great Spotted Woodpeckers anounce themselves.

I always enjoy seeing woodpeckers with their deliberate and jerking movements.  Sometimes they pause as if they are deep in thought.  These ones came in quite close but they always make their pipping call when they arrive and give you time to get your camera ready.

I have one "bogey" bird the Lesser Spotted woodpecker that has always escaped me and I have never seen in my whole life.  Their population has much declined in the UK but I am always hopeful of seeing one.  If it does happen it could be one of my most enthusiastic posts ever!
