I can often hear the calls of the Green Woodpecker around the house, but this one decided to visit and spent quite a time in the garden looking for food.
Till I saw these pictures I had never realised quite how formidable that beak is. It looks like it could do some serious damage
I am semi-retired after a career in medical sciences. I now work from home doing independent research and consultancy amongst other things. One advantage of this is that I do have time to indulge my interests including birdwatching, natural history, steam trains and history particularly ancient history.
