Bird people (green woodpeckers)

If you look at this Dogweb induced neglected corner of my garden you will see no less than three green woodpeckers at once..there were four but I could not get them all in the picture without going ouside and startling them all these are the ones that call 'wet-wet-wet' not the prettier spotted woodpeckers,we get loads of those too but I can't get near enough to get them on camera

..it is a very poor quality picture...it was pouring with rain ..but it is most unusual to see four woodpeckers together at once, they must be older fledgelings from the same brood..just managed to grab the camera and get them

Neglected? I'll show you neglected (when my camera is fixed!)

What an amazing sight and how wonderful.

Mini what a fantastic photo, you are very lucky. The most unusual birds I've spotted in our garden are a Siskin and a Nuthatch.
