Great to see this guy at the feeder.
Not sure it's a good sign or not really, could be juvenile getting a quick breakfast or is it hard times already out there for his food of choice.
TIL Hairy & Downy #woodpeckers have almost identical markings, but Downys are smaller, have smaller beaks in relation to their heads, and have speckled feathers on the sides of their tails. Hairys, OTOH, have a less adorable name, larger beaks, and white side feathers on their tails.
A pic of Mx. Hairy Pecker on the suet feeder, showing both their peculiar way of tucking their tail under to touch whatever they’re holding onto, and this one’s very white side tail feathers.
I came across a very enthusiastic woodpecker drumming in this dead tree early this morning.
It's a #woodpecker hotspot during the late winter but I've not heard this in October before.
Lots of #redwing have arrived overnight and there's an abundance of berries for them. #nature
Here is the first of a few pictures of the Great Spotted Woodpecker that landed about 10 meters from where I was sat. What a bird, has made my week. This year I set a goal of photographing all 3 of the UK's woodpecker species. I now have 2 with just the rare lesser spotted to find.
Trail buddies on the first day of fall. Just another morning for these critters who remain oblivious to everything but the now… #Monterey #MorningWalk #Deer #WoodPecker
Slightly hazy as it's snapped through a kitchen window, this juvenile Green Woodpecker has been visiting for a few days now. It's finding ants in the lawn #wildlife#birds#nature#photography#woodpecker
