Well done Pat your absolutely correct, a female green woodpecker.

We’ve never seen one wild in the wild before.

Only 52,000 breeding pairs throughout the UK may have some relevance.

Is it tasty?

I had one of those in my Garden last week, I wondered what it was too. Very Pretty little thing

7

i see them quite often in the park with my dog, they’re really shy birds so you’re lucky to have one visiting you.

i actually see more green ones than standard woodpeckers. the black & whites have nested in my garden for two years in a row, bloody noisy the little ones they are but really cute.

I bet deep fried it is!

And on an unrelated note, Sam what have you done to your name and avatar?!?! Are you finally going for that final op? :stuck_out_tongue:

I thought you knew my surname was Bird, Sophie used to Call me Tweet!! (I thought she said Sweet, but turns out it was Tweet!!) and i found that Graffiti Tag on Google and thought it may make me appear Hip and Down Wit Da Kidz (And its Black & Orange so just felt right)

Grilled on toast with cracked black pepper

Hmm I’m hungry that actually sounds pretty good!

I remember your surname Sam, just its all different and I liked the other avatar :frowning:
