We are honoured to have our friends the Woodpeckers in the woods of Wells House again this Autumn - there is no mistaking that sound and just look at how beautiful they are!
Our resident falconer Robin created a great and educational installation on Mogue's walk earlier this year which shows you how they make their nests and what they like to eat. Pop down and have a look and even spot the real ones on your next visit to Wells!
We do wonder how they're all keeping warm this Autumn.... do you know? ??
