Woodpecker in the Vegetable Garden.
One of the many advantages of vegetable gardening is watching the birds. This greater spotted woodpecker (latin name - Dendrocopos major) was busy on the bird table, whilst we were busy weeding in the vegetable garden.

This is a great picture of the greater spotted woodpecker. I have never seen a woodpecker. I have heard them at times in our orchard.

Ours arrived three years ago - and it has only been this year that they have been happy to ‘work’ along-side us!
