Wednesday's Hadleigh Breakfast Briefing
By Derek Davis

Wednesday's midweek fact...
Green Woodpeckers enjoy a good laugh. According to the RSPB, the UK's largest woodpecker is a lean green machine with a short tail, a red cap and a strong, long bill. They're largely ground feeders, looking for bugs and grubs to eat, especially ants. They use their bill to break into their colonies, sucking them up with their long sticky tongues. August is a good month to spot parents out with the fledglings on the hunt in short grassland habitats, parks and gardens – a giveaway can be their unique laughing flight call.
