    Great Spotted Woodpecker - 2011 Updates

    Hi there, Are there any updates re: Great Spotted Woodpeckers in Ireland this year? Are they spreading West and North? Where can they be observed? VJ

    Why no Woodpeckers in Ireland

    Might keep an eye here further up North to check for any random GSWs. Probably wishful thinking to expect that one will actually turn up though.

    This probably sounds like a stupid question but are woodlands the obvious location to look for GSWs?

    Birdwatch features the new breeders also. So, there we have it....they now breed here and can survive. No reintroduction needed, they'll do it all by themsleves.

    Why no Woodpeckers in Ireland

    We can't tell either way, but I defer to Chris Mead's analysis. As I say, all the evidence points towards the GSW taking up residence here of its own accord so the reintroduction question is, perhaps, redundant. I choose to believe that the GSW was indeed once a resident on this island...
