wood peckers?

do we have them in uk does anyboby know?

because where i walk my dogs there are about 15/20 trees, the last few weeks when i have walk pass it i heard a funny nose i'm wondering if it's a wood pecker.

We do get em here yes, see them all the time where we walk.

i bet it's a wood pecker i hear everyday then.

The other day I was out on a ride and a kestral was on a fence post it had just killed something and was eating it and I was so close but it never bothered was lovely to see.
Oh and I told my hubby there was a cuckoo on the roof every daylight when im getting up he laughed and said it was a wood pigeon dont know much about birds never seen a wood pecker round here

We get 3 types of woodpecker here. The Green Woodpecker, the Lesser Spotted Woodpecker & the Greater Spotted Woodpecker. If the noise you heard was a bit like a loud laugh, then it was the Green Woodpecker. Beautiful bird, with really rich green colouring.

Yeah ive seen one i have loads of trees at the back of my houjse up the lane way where i walk kaiser we kept hearing knocking noises then my fella spotted it couldnt believe it

we have a oark behind us and there are woodpeckers in there, not sure which kind they are
