Remember I said the greenhouse makes a great hide for watching birds in the garden?

woodpecker! woodpecker!
woodpecker!
woodpecker! woodpecker! woodpecker!
woodpecker!  
Our woodpecker! (That blue thing hung over the branch is the end of the top bar of the old swing: Kai doesn't like throwing out things that might just possibly maybe one day be useful...) Ken came out to help me get the makeshift greenhouse water butt set up: the woodpecker was digging into Kai's log scramble, so we waited until it flew away of its own accord, me cursing that I didn't have the camera. But then it came back again and started on the goat willow. After it had flown off, we thought it might come back again, so I grabbed camera and ensconced myself in the greenhouse (potted on some marigolds and salad leaves while I was there) and waited. Isn't it cute? These were taken from the greenhouse door with the camera's zoom on max. Just think what I could have done with the new Olympus with its 18x magnification...
It's been a day of general garden stuff and client site updates, which I still haven't finished. Need to get that done now if I'm to have any fun tonight.
Back to the rockface.

[sigh] pisses me off that blogger puts in that bloody awful gap above a table...
