Woodie Woodpecker

Well I can hear him but I've yet to see him! He sounds just like a jackhammer in the distance each morning as I wend my way across the garden to the stables where Tiffany awaits her breakfast. It'll be one of several green woodpeckers who frequent the gardens and woods around The Barn; they seem to especially enjoy the larvae of the cranefly, Daddy Longlegs to me, which inhabit my lawns, much to my disgust! Last year he made a regular appearance around 4:00pm pecking holes in my lawns in his efforts to stock up for the evening. Just as well I enjoy bird watching!
