Female woodpecker in the snowy garden earlier in the week. There is a blurry spot which was snow on the window, but I had to be quick, she doesn’t hang around for long, so I’ve uploaded anyway.
Love seeing woody woodpecker on the bird table. When we had a bird feeder at the farm one used to come all the time. We don’t put food out now as we saw a very large rat one day & I’m scared they might nest under the decking. There are hens a few doors away. I sound like a real townie but the thought if any rats under my feet is too much a risk.
@happypat Our community actually has a “rule”, but probably more a strong advisory not to have bird feeders for that very reason. They were attracting rats.
