Lovely unexpected day

We are all so lucky to have seen such a lot of wildlife. Merlogran I shall have to tell my daughter that your green woodpeckers only feed off insects on the ground. She has two that visit and eat peanuts and they do not seem to mind if you watch them which was lucky for us. Nanaej what a wonderful sight on Christmas Eve to see a small deer. My children would have thought it was magical and would have been in bed so fast but probably awake until the small hours. Thanks for all your replies.

That's an unusual sight, Lucyella, We have greater spotted woodpeckers feeding on nuts in our garden but our greens only feed on insects on the ground.

that sounds lovely lucyella what a good day! ..It is lovely to see wildlife. On Christmas Eve, when staying with my daughter, a small deer came into the garden! We told the kids it had been sent by the man in red to make sure they were ready for bed!!

What a lovely day you had full of nice surprises ? We are fortunate to live close to the beach and we have a lot of wildlife visiting at differant times of the year,but my most favourite has got to be our regular fox who whilst we are in a small town has made his home not to far away from us,he/she does not cause a problem with regard to any domestic pets in the area and one gentleman who has an allotment leaves the fox bread and milk it always goes as foxes tend to keep to the same routine I have seen it on many occassions and it is a magnificent creature.We also have a vast selection of wild birds who nest in the park areas near to the sand dunes.
