Lesser Spotted Woodpecker

The last two days have seen two individual Lesser Peckers feeding on peanut feeders at my garden feeding station. First one was yesterday around 20 mins after Andrew Huyton left my house after spending 30 mins watching the feeders whilst on a social call to drop a book off. You should have stayed for that extra coffee Andy :-)) Another bird, male this time, was on the feeders when I got home from shopping around 2.30pm. If a pattern of arrival starts to occur I will let the blog know so that anyone who wants to see this species for their year list can nip down for a look. Great Spotted are now coming to the feeders as well, so you have chance of bagging the two species and if you are really lucky you will hear the Green peckers calling in the wood behind the house and bag up totally!
