A Woodpecker.

Was playing golf yesterday and all the blokes on the 5th Tee were looking into the trees. Saw what I know now was a Greater Spotted Woodpecker (was about Starling sized whereas the Lesser is about Sparrow sized).

Great to see it's black, white and red plumage. I hope it makes it's home down there.

Funnily enough I saw a pair of them in my garden today. Beautiful things.

My parents have a big garden in the countryside and there's a beautiful adult woodpecker that pops in every now and then. Gorgeous thing.

Great place for the birds, the golf course. Last year we had nesting Kestrels and Sparrowhawks. Seen some birds with gold flash but don't know if they are Goldfinches or not, look a bit large for them. Some ducks also on the pond but there's no island for them to nest on is my concern. Bloody Magpies are everywhere though.

I was playing today and saw loads of magpies.

Also a red kite that was surveying the fields for mice.

Comedy moment of the day came when I was teeing off on a short par 3 - I heard a noise in the bushes so stepped back from my ball. I re-adressed and was halway through my swing when a baby deer runs straight past the tee box!

I don't see eagles and Albatrosses as often as I'd like at my Golf Club.
