      Is the Woodpecker in my post #763 the Lesser Spotted or Great Spotted please? I can't tell the difference. :doh:

          Thanks for your much appreciated words @KFF. :) I'm going to use a different camera next time and hopefully with no glass in the way.

            I've often mentioned that when Oscar the cat lived with us he used to look after the birds in the garden and protect them from predators. He also used to let the baby pheasants play with him (ignored them whilst they ran over him).

            I've just come across this old photo of him with one of the adults. They were used to him and came for their drink even when he was sitting nearby.

              I would say it's a Greater Spotted because of it's black head

                    My Veronica! She's so naughty she creeps into the house & sneaks around! Here she is in the dining room :nonofinger: (just imagine if she pooped on my carpet :yikes:) IMG_1436.JPG I found her on the new wooden worktop this morning :nonofinger: IMG_1432.JPG
                    I love her very much but she is like a very naughty toddler! She's always up to no good! :whistle::heehee:

                              Also the Lesser has no red under the tail and is a third of the size of a Greater Woodie.
