Build Your Own Site with WebSite Tonight from GoDaddy.com

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to look at my site. It is still in the early stages, and I will be adding more posts when I find the time to write. I now have my main website up and working and want to build it up into a huge site. There you will find my gallery, which I will add my paintings to in the near future. And eventually a shop. Click on the link down the right hand side, called ” My New Site”. I hope you have enjoyed what you have seen so far and come back soon.

The Green Woodpecker

The Green Woodpecker (Picus viridis)

This post is dedicated to ‘Woody’ a little Green Woodpecker chick, which was rescued from a certain death on the road she was sitting in. In her short time on this Earth she gave much pleasure to all who saw her and a close insight to these beautiful, shy birds. Not many people are lucky enough to see a Woodpecker so close. She was taken to the vets but all their care could not save her, she was just too weak! She will be sadly missed but never forgotten. Bless her.

In the early morning, you may find, resting on a log or on the heather in the heathland of the New Forest, a Furze Evvet (local name of the common lizard). Basking and warming its cold blooded body in the rays of the rising sun.

For some people, they may be surprised to learn we have lizards living in Britain. There are in fact, three native species of lizards living in the UK. The Common lizard, the Sand lizard and the Slow worm (a legless lizard).
