  Just back from a visit to London, while there I visited the London Wetland Centre in Barnes, a wonderful
  wildlife sactuary right in the heart of London, the only thing that gave the location away was the constant
  aeroplanes flying over! This juvenile Green Woodpecker was making quite a racket in the tree, I was
  delighted to have seen it…..a first for me!

  Have we these in Ireland, I’ve never seen one if we have. A nice shot considering he looks high up.

  I don’t think so Dave, as far as I know it is the great spotted woodpecker here, this was a lot larger, about
  The size of a dove maybe a little smaller. Thanks for looking. :D

  Nice to see Jenny. Saw an adult once in Richmond Park (2009)
