Green Woodpeckers in the UK - How and where to find them.

[@Compo67]

Have just watched this video Liam and the meadows and wildlife there are very similar to ours back home where we to keep horses. The closely grazed meadows really do attract the red ants and in turn green wood peckers . We also have a lot of Hawthorne, elderberry, bramble and Blackthorn copse which really attract a lot of migrating birds throughout the year. We have lots of green finch, chaffinch , goldfinch, chiff chaffs and redstarts. We even had Housemartins for the first time in our field shelter. We manage the land for the horses, but leave plenty of scrub land for the wildlife, plus we alternate when to top the meadows to allow wild meadow plants to propagate. Your video looks like it could almost of been taken here! ☺️ Well done on another great video 👌

So beautiful, the green woodpeckers. Glad you found it. Have a nice Sunday afternoon. Greetings Jacq

[@NaturallyCuriousUK]

Excellent indeed buddy! Your enthusiastic style of presentation is perfectly pitched - positive, engaging, but not over-the-top. Excellent info, especially on the Muntjac and Himalayan Balsam. One of your best yet (apart from Lackford, obviously 😆). Keep up the good work Liam. 👍💚👍

This is a great simple video that crams in quite a bit of wildlife, you're lucky to have so much so close by. Well done mate, I`d like to see more of this

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Thank you! I will be making more videos in this format when lockdown eases up but will be making shorter fact files until then. Cheers

[@jonpendleton1007]

Good job Liam. Fascinating 👌

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Thanks. It took a few days to find them but I'll be doing a fact file on just them soon now I have a lot of footage.

I work in a large sewage treatment plant and we’ve got loads of Woodpecker’s and even parakeets

[@TomMcClean]

Good one Liam. i'm afraid i can't tell the difference between large rabbits and hares! lol What a blunder! We don't have the green woodpeckers but the greater spotted woodpecker has come in over the last 10 years and is now all over the place. Unfortunately it, like the red kite, has still eluded me! We have plenty of himalayan balsam.. I think it is called policeman's helmet here, as the flower is shaped like an old helmet.

Thanks for the video - I've just spied a green woodpecker in my garden (in NE Surrey, UK). Instead of pecking at trees, it's been pecking on the lawn - looking for worms I expect !

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Yes, itll be looking for worms or other insects. They're especially fond of ants.

[@piperbob2]

@@AShotOfWildlife It was back again this morning, stabbing at the lawn !

Nice captures :)

[@sh8736]

We have a lot of green finch they like sunflower hearts where do we record them?

[@brentnearhood8874]

[@FeathersinWild]

Lovely collection... thanks for sharing.. liked & sub.

[@PaxmanValentaClass43]

Enjoyed your video thoroughly. Thanks for uploading. I use an app called Merlin Bird ID to find and call the birds I want to photograph.

[@fezzerpaul]

Hope you don’t mind me asking but what camera do you use for the outdoor zoom videos? Many thanks 👍🏻

[@AShotOfWildlife]

That's a Nikon P950, it's a very good camera for a really reasonable price and I definitely recommend it if you're in the market.

[@omryanChannel]

First thumbs up 👍🏻👍🏻

[@kevinrowlands6753]

Brilliant

[@tomp762]

[@AmyCHollingworth]

Awesome video with cool wildlife! I like the inclusion of invertebrates and plants. Where was this filmed?

[@AShotOfWildlife]

I don’t quite know the name of the place... but I’d be happy to show you guys some time :)
