Great Spotted Woodpecker

I can confirm that I heard the distinctive sound of a great spotted woodpecker in the woods close to the sea-shore at Delamont Park, County Down, today.

Craig Nash tells me that the first breeding pair in Ireland was at Finnebrogue and they started to breed about four years ago.

Here is link to one of the Finnebrogue Birds:-
