I was chatting to my friend Gray this lunchtime and we talked about Green Woodpecker and how hard they are to get photos of. He asked me to put some of my photos on the front page  of this species that I have taken before.  Oh, and Gray my email is charlesfleming1@mac.com

This one was drinking from a woodland pool.

The one below was on the lawn at the back of our house last Autumn and even this year I heard one on several different days from that area again and I am sure it is a regular haunt.
