Green Woodpecker, Great Spotted Woodpecker

Back to gloomy conditions again after yesterday's sunny weather.  This morning's walk didn't really have much to report until I got to Turnough Farm. I looked back towards the lake and picked up a Green Woodpecker perched atop a fence post.  A couple of hasty photos and it flew off towards Rakewood.  Shortly afterwards in the trees around the farm itself, a Great Spotted Woodpecker flew in briefly but I didn't manage to get a very good photo.
