Woodpecker

I promise you this is not going to turn into Wildlife On One... but one of the reasons I like living in Ewell is that we get more interesting visitors to our back garden. ("More interesting" in comparison to our previous slightly-closer-into-London abode. Gardens generally smaller and fewer nearby parks, thus, less roaming wildlife.)

Today a green woodpecker was assiduously hunting something on our lawn; insects, I suppose. He seemed quite successful, staying for at least ten minutes. With a beak like that, we won't need to worry about aerating the ground any time soon...
