Look What Our Jack Russell Found

[Totally Scrambled]

Little Bonnie found something up the garden and luckily Ali and the girls were up there to call her off.
She didn't actually get to it so it was fine just a bit young, so Ali picked it up and put it in a tree. After a few minutes rest it was fine and went on it's way.

Is it a woodpecker Dom? My goodness, that is one lucky bird.

[Mad Chick]

Very lucky bird
Don't normally get to see a woodpecker close up - aren't they beautiful

[Totally Scrambled]

Yep, it's Green Woodpecker. Don't think it's very old though.

Ali must be one quick lady , I tried to get to an injured pigeon today and failed ! Only ever had 1 woodpecker in our garden - lucky you hope it stays around for a bit.

How brilliant to see one so close and well done the girls for saving him ..the lesser spotted woodpeckers are on the endangered list.

[perchy]

Beautiful arn't they, havn't seen one for a long time now, well done Ali and good girl Bonnie for not eating it

[Steve the Gas]

Quality- well done Ali,

Green Woodpeckers are elusive normally, esp at fledging.

[Totally Scrambled]

We have loads of woodpeckers round here, only usually catch glimpses of them but often hear them yaffling and drilling.

Dogs and cats catching wildlife doesn't really bother me but it always feels good to know you've saved a life!

We've seen both green and lesser spotted woodpeckers in our back garden picking ants off the slope right outside our window. They are pretty shy and are gone at the slightest movement but lovely to see them and, earlier in the year, to hear them drilling.
