When I used to live in Southampton, I worked at an environmental centre on the Common. Close by was an old graveyard (http://www.southampton.gov.uk/leisure/parks/old-cemetery.asp#0) that was managed pro-actively as a wildlife habitat. Often on summer days after work I would just go and sit amongst the stones watching the birds, and the woodies were always a firm fave as they flitted about in their clockwork manner. The Greens in particular would keep me amused as they strutted about on the ground with almost military precision!

What a fabulous picture! What a gorgeous woodpecker! Blimey, but I'm envious.
Unfortunately our zoom was a bit lacking, so i wasn't able to get a really detailed shot. He looks so unreal and plastic!
