Re: Green Woodpecker (video)

Have you thought of approaching David Attenborough to do the voice over, speedy?

I think he would struggle with this one, Harbal...I always thought woodpeckers made holes in trees, not the ground! Maybe its a tad confused?

RS, good shot though...I haven't seen a woodpecker in real life, only heard them.

Yes, they can be quite loud, but in this instance, the camera is noisier than the woodpecker.

Well the woodpecker was pecking the grass, it looked like to me, and maybe a twig? Trees are far more....what's the word....reverberant?

I guess it just isn't a very ambitious woodpecker, Pixie.

I think that's exactly the right word.

They seem to be the type of bird that like to look busy, but doesn't get much done. A bit like an office worker shuffling papers around, haha!

The woodpecker, obviously.

And I don't think woodpeckers have to attend pointless meetings; that's another difference.

On the other hand, I bet that, once trained up, they are capable of achieving a phenomenal typing speed.
