What a Surprise, a Green Woodpecker

I've seen very few green woodpeckers in my life and never in this garden or our previous gardens. This one flew down into the front garden this morning as I was doing the washing up. Fortunately it stayed around long enough for me to remove my rubber gloves and grab my camera.
