I love woodpeckers! So much fun to watch in the garden. I saw some eating from spent mullein stalks last fall. It was a treat for my kids and I to see.
I was lucky to finally get a picture, their usually hidden high in the tree. How fun for your kids to see them on the Mullein stalks.
The Greater Spotted Woodpecker that visits my garden looks different to yours but has a red patch in the same place – must be the trendy look for woodpeckers!
The Redheaded Woodpecker has some similar characteristics too.

I remembered when I was a kid, its was such a cute little bird but making a lot of noise at night pecking on the tree nearby!
They do make some racket that’s for sure.

Great photo, Racquel! The red-bellied woodpecker is a very infrequent visitor here, but I can never get a decent picture of him.
Thanks Rose, I had to sneak a shot from the deck with my camera on zoom to capture this pretty visitor.
