whoever nailed this cut-out to the post I tip my hat. I'll be checking this Autumn for the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker.
As I was in the vicinity I just had to go and pay homage to the tree...
no chance of deja vous...nice tree though.

BLACK WOODPECKER - CUMBRIA!!!
If you're ever driving North on the A565 between Parton and Distington near Workington checkout the roadside telegraph poles. I was casually wandering my way along when...bloody hell!!! Black Woodpecker on a post by the road, never?. Thinking luck could never strike twice in the same place (just down the road from my Bee-eater find of last week) and the most unlikely bird to turn up in Cumbria in June I raced up the dual carriageway did a u turn and headed south. Its still there, same post same position...mmm? me smells a rat. Going North again I was laughing my head off as I realised I'd fallen for a cracking hoax...
