I have been thinking about the seed they are feeding on Jim, when I was a little girl !! we had a budgerigar called Joey and we bought a single strand of millet and hung it in the cage. This looks very much like the feed in your picture. :-D
Thanks again Sylvias you are right, I just mentioned to my wife what you had written on here and she tells me that she used to sell millet many years ago in a pet shop she used to work in. :roll: :thumbup: :thumbup: :lol:

That one sure deserves to be called "red bellied woodpecker" more than does the one on this side of the pond that actually bears that name.

Hi Angler
It's a female Great Spotted Woodpecker, we have them in our garden daily. We are lucky to live near a park. Nice photos. Chris
