Green Woodpecker
A couple of weeks ago I came across a Kestrel sitting outside a nest hole with a Green Woodpecker sitting above it, yaffling. Yesterday on Marston Marsh, I came across another Green Woodpecker arguing with the Ring-necked Parakeets. Norwich - April 2024
I came across a male with a juvenile in Earlham Cemetery. Here he is keeping an eye on me. Norwich - July 2023

The Green Woodpeckers have been absent from the cemetery for a few months, so it's good see at least one has returned.

These two pictures amused me. Something up the tree had caught its attention. Earlham Cemetery, Norwich - July 2021
And a juvenile! Thus completing the set for the cemetery this year. I can't prove they're breeding there but the circumstantial evidence is strong. One of a family group of four. Earlham Cemetery, Norwich - June 2021
The male. Earlham Cemetery, Norwich - March 2021
I've been trying to capture an image of one of the cemetery birds for a couple of years. The female, Earlham Cemetery, Norwich - January 2021
Probably wondering where to feed as Thorpe Marshes are currently flooded. NWT Thorpe Marshes - December 2019
One day I'll get a decent picture of a Green Woodpecker but for now... NWT Thorpe Marshes, Norwich - August 2019
