I know people have seen them, always other people. A sparrow-sized woodpecker, unmistakeable, yes I have heard the description of this mythical creature.
More chance of me seeing the legendary Great Auk, or even Ivory Billed Woodpecker (search the forum threads if you want to read that one!) This little woody has been on my most-wanted list for a few years now. It has a pattern of very occasionally turning up where I have been a few days earlier, or a few days later (in the forlorn or even vain hope it will come back just for me).
Nemesis bird? holy grail? - my equivalent of Bill's Corncrake? - I'm planning a visit to Potteric Carr next Saturday. it has been seen there in recent weeks - even a brief glimpse would do - I'm not greedy. Has anyone managed to see this elusive little feller? - I'd assume it is high on a lot of people's want list....
