Now at this point I must relate a story Laura once told me of one of her English lecturers telling the group in astonishment that "I've just seen a woodpecker" and the group staring back at him as if he said "I've just seen a lamp post". In Finland, yes, they're very common. In Liverpool they're not so common, and I might even go as far as to say that this could be the first one I've seen in Liverpool, and certainly the first one I've even had a chance of getting near photographing. So, somewhere in the middle of this tree you'll probably make out the blurry, ghostly and miscoloured shape of a woodpecker going crazy at a tree. It IS a terrible photograph, but it's my story of the day so it stands. I might find a better random picture to upload to try and compensate. :) I went for a little walk today in Woolton Woods and happened across a woodpecker.
