Green Woodpecker

I have been trying to see a Green Woodpecker since i started in January. In the last week i have seen 4 different ones.

The Green Woodpecker (Picus viridus) is one of the 3 different woodpeckers we get in Britain (the other two are the Great Spotted Woodpecker and the Lesser Spotted Woodpecker). These are quite big birds and thier favorite food are ants. The other name for them is the Yaffle because thier call is like a yaffling laugh.

In the book Henry Williamson mentions a woodpecker but doesnt say which one it is.
