  • I've never seen this bird but I will one day

  • @ZoesFishbowl94 I hope you do eventually see one these.

    Regards Richard

  • at about 1.40 the bird appears to put out a thin tongue surely not?

  • You are right about the tongue, one of the main prey items for this species are ants

    so they have developed a long and thin tongue.

    Best wishes Richard

  • wow !

  • Thank you,

    as with all nest photography it takes time to get decent results.

    Best wishes Richard

  • Great! I had never even heard of the green woodpecker before now. Great capture Richard. Patience well invested.

    Best wishes Richard
