Woody Woodpecker

Went to the farm shop to pick up our (huge!) turkey and veg box - all pre-ordered so it was the easiest Christmas food shop ever, no queueing either.

Then went for a drive and ended up popping in to a nearby bird hide - this one where we saw all the deer last time. No deer today, but did see 3 woodpeckers, lots of blue and great tits, a robin, a pheasant, a thrush and a lot of blackbirds and sparrows as well as two squirrels.

This not very good photo is a snap of one of the woodpeckers on the wooden pole on the right hand side, in case you were struggling to see him...
