Spring awakening

A mild breeze, buds on the trees and birdsong in the air - everything you need as you stride into the woods armed with your backpack and bow saw. Spring is on it's way. Best of all I think I heard my first woodpecker today - well at least I think I did. A succession of pecking sounds coming every twenty seconds or so - I'm not sure if the poor thing was feeding, looking for a mate or making a nest - but I felt truly honoured to have heard it in my little patch of woods. I was pleased as punch, I could have almost laughed out loud. ha-ha-ha-HA-ha.

Here's a video of something similar to what I heard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gy3g3p9P5k8&feature=related
