They're known as a Yaffle around my way. You have to be lucky to see one but I have managed it quite a few time without yomping through forest and bog. A peekaboo shot is better than nothing at all. Well done Linda for your tenacity and photo skills.

Did you never watch Bagpus, Linda? "Professor Yaffle, the carved wooden bookend in the shape of a woodpecker" was part of the intro.... or am I that much older than you? (don't answer that lol)
Nope, av heard of it but as you say WAY before I even took my first breath
