Great Spotted Woodpecker ♂

Perhaps it's due to the imminent cold snap but the garden wildlife seems to be stocking up reserves.

The young dog fox (Tod) that has recently included our garden in its rounds, snuck up and took a wood pigeon just moments after the morning's bird feed had been put out. By the time the camera had been fetched he'd carried off his catch. A congregation of magpies descended to make comment whilst a great spotted woodpecker quietly took the edge off his whetted appetite.

♥ This is the first woodpecker we've sighted in our garden.♥
