    Just seen a Green Woodpecker fly out of the trees between the Maxwells DIY store and Caterpillar at NW Industrial Estate,Peterlee.It flew over my head ( I was working outside at CAT ) and bobbed up and down North in flight. We are only approx 1000 metres from Castle Eden Dene but still a shock !

    Northumbrian Birding

Strange...
