I'm enjoying exactly the same from my week-end garden in the New Forest. Though I haven't seen a woodpecker yet. Besides the usual suspects of course we also get sheep and pigs and ponies.

Your third pic is a Jay, shoot the bleedin' thing Mo, they're pests.......gone to get my hard-hat.:getmecoat::hardhat:

the first one is a Goldfinch.

The Jay takes eggs and young birds from the nest of any bird they can. To say they are a pest is just a matter of opinion.

Unless you are a Game keeper, in which case they can be a nuisance.

Have to disagree on this one, Rog - [HI]Great Spotted Woodpecker[/HI] not Lesser. :Smile:

Most definitely.

The Jay also pecks the eyes from Duck chicks, and I have witnessed this personally. It amazed me at first but then like the magpie and the Carrion Crow it is just another member of the crow family.

So on a quiet country lane with some road-kill don't be surprised to see the Jay pecking away at the carcase.....Griff...:thumb:
