Just to clarify my last post - I've never seen one! And I don't believe they actually exist.
The lesser peckers are all here, they came over in my luggage. Apart from the one in Ed's superb sketch - he got away. I managed to see 4 in the UK, usually high up in a treetop looking like a mint humbug stuck to the branch. I get to see that many per month if I'm birding enough in the right places now.
That garganey piece is so wonderful, just love it! It really makes you feel you're right there in the real situation. quote]
Yes Ed - this painting really does have the lot. Get it finished, quick. Really ace.
