5 Nov 2009 (early morning)
Two Great Spotted Woodpeckers in the garden this morning as it got light, a male and a female. In trying to show Tom the difference between the two I had to take some photos as they were moving around too much for him to see properly. So here it is.
This is the male with red on the back of his head and a black band going round to it's throat which rules out Syrian Woodpecker !! (ho ho)
and this is the female, as usual duller, with all black on the back of the head, no red.
Tom is now an expert (well for 10 minutes anyway)
