Has hubby added any humerous sightings to your list yet?
What, you mean like when we were keeping a list of birds and after "robin" he wrote "batman"?
Yup, stuff like that
Which way round are woodpeckers? We have green ones that are called Yaffles locally (because they make a yaffly laughing sound) and untidy black and white ones with a red splodge.
My woodpecker was the black and white and red one. A great spotted woodpecker like this:

I haven't seen a green woodpecker round here, but they're supposed to be fairly common all over Britain.
That's groovy, anonymous, now I understand why the woodpecker on Bagpuss is called Professor Yaffle. I never knew it meant anything in itself til now.
