Male Great Spotted Woodpecker, Ross Castle, 20th November 2019 (David O'Connor).
Fantastic to see photos of this much anticipated colonist to the county. There have been a few tantalising reports of this charasmatic species in woodland areas in recent winters, at eg, Castleisland, Ballyseedy, and, yes, Ross Castle, but surely this beautiful bird will eventually become a feature of well-wooded areas in the Kingdom in coming years.
