Green Woodpecker

Certainly the most colourful of the British woodpeckers, the green’s distinctive ‘yaffle' is more often heard than the bird is seen. Ants make up the the most part of the birds diet, we feed mealworms on the anthills to attract them into photographable range.

Some years we find suitable nests for photography. Should we find a nest this year information will be released through the newsletter.
