Listen for them drumming in spring to establish a territory.

Seen almost anywhere from garden to moor to wood.

Generally a summer visitor but small numbers now overwinter here.

A noisy but colourful bird

Listen out for other birds setting off alarm calls, there may be a tawny owl around.

Watch out for these buzzing up trees and listening for insects.

Garden visitors in winter but generally conifer wood land dwellers.

At home anywhere.
