I have a ton of woodpeckers here in NJ, but not this one! I've seen the pileated woodpecker, the red-bellied woodpecker, the hairy woodpecker, and the downy woodpecker.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a woodpecker in real life but what gorgeous birds. I always think it’s such a shame the women of most species get duller as they get older (except humans of course!) - seems very unfair!!
Yes I agree but the males look beautiful. I've only seen the female a handful of times, it always seems to be the males around here. I hope you've had a good weekend.
Wow! Thank you for such an educational read this morning, and your close up photo's are stunning. We definitely have Woodpeckers in the Churchyard near where we live, I can hear them on my dog walks in the Springtime. I'm inspired to take some binoculars along now and hopefully get a closer look. X
I love Greater Spotted Woodpeckers. We have two that visit regularly- especially for peanuts. They are very wary though, flying off at the slightest movement, so I struggle to photograph them!
Hi Linda, I'm pleased that you get to experience Woodpeckers in your garden. They do seem like quite nervous birds, I have to photograph them from our conservatory window 😂

Oh wow, that's quite a variety! I've only ever seen a Great Spotted and a Green Woodpecker.
I loved your post thank you. So interesting. Here in SA we have a number of different woodpeckers, was great learning about a new one.
Thank you, I'm really pleased that you enjoyed it ☺️ do the woodpeckers often visit you?
Not where I live, although very occasionally bump into one in a nearby wetland where I walk. We have to go into the more protected areas to find them.
Lovely birds and lovely post :-)
Thank you very much Angie ☺️
That’s amazing! I’ve only ever once seen a woodpecker 🌿
I hadn't seen one at all until we moved here. They're very beautiful. I hope you've had a good weekend.
They keep wondering who is knocking.
Yes, indeed ☺️

Thank you Sue. Yes, definitely take your binoculars, I can often see them scurrying up the tree trunk.
Oh they are cute little birds, what stunning pictures you have of them!
Thank you Sophie, they are stunning birds 😍 I hope you're having a great weekend.
