Its possible now to see 5 species of Woodpecker in the Netherlands. I went to Berg and Dal a village south east of Nijmegen near the border with Germany. Its hilly here in the old forest and I saw Greater, Middle (pictured here last year) and Lesser-spotted Woodpeckers, a Black Woodpecker flew over calling and a few miles away I completed the set with a Green Woodpecker and another Black Woodpecker seen flying.

Hi Will,
You are spoilt! I have only seen two species in Denmark so far - Great Spotted and Black. Lesser is here, but scarce, and Green is pretty rare except for the south-west of the country. Middle is just a dream. There was a vagrant Three-toed in the autumn at Skagen (northern tip of Denmark) but only stayed for a few days... Keep up the good blog and good birding.. Terry
