I looked out of the bedroom window this morning and spotted this green woodpecker on the lawn. So I ran downstairs and managed to get a couple of half decent photos of him.
The green woodpecker is the largest of the three woodpeckers that breed in Britain. It has a heavy-looking body, short tail and a strong, long bill. It is green on its upperparts with a paler belly, bright yellow rump and red on the top of its head. The black 'moustache' has a red centre in males. They have an undulating flight and a loud, laughing call. https://www.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/birdguide/name/g/greenwoodpecker/
