Francie 6,368 Posted July 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 Aye lads it's the greater spotted woodpecker, I was actually about 100ft away, I recorded it then zoomed in, I could see it clearly, I just didn't recognise it, thanks for the input. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 31,126 Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 No that’s a feral pigeon , the bird in the pic is definitely a woodpecker, even with the poor picture quality the fact the legs are so far back on the body makes it very easy to make out what it is, unusual to see one perched like that normally flat against a trunk of a tree hence the legs being so far back 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
