Great, as it's not easy to photograph a woodpecker. We often hear one but rarely see it, seems to be just the one, a green one. Your black and white one is very pretty.

I think that they are lovely pictures

I loved seeing the gulls in Eyemouth and stood at the harbour for a while hoping to see the seals too (no luck). Two juvenile gulls did acrobatics over the harbour for a while to entertain me. A while ago I worked on an Army Barracks near a fishing port and out of all the gulls that visited...
