With a lot of Green Woodpecker activity going on in Nantmel lately, myself and Tony decided to try and catch one. We knew where they had been calling from so just had to set up a net and hope for the best! The first site we tried wasn't very successful, so after a short while we deiced to try another place - where they had bred some years ago.
With in a short while of setting up the net the female had thrown herself into it, and it seemed only a few moments later that the male was in the net as well!!

What a catch, and what made this more amazing was the fact that these two Green Woodpeckers are possibly the first ringed in wales since 2006!!
