Just as we were about to leave for a London trip yesterday we noticed 3 woodpeckers digging along the lawn at the side of the path. I rushed to get the camera out and of course had the wrong lens on but managed to get this picture before they flew away. Its not a very good picture but the only one I have she says sadly. I think they must be parents with a youngster. Anyone any other ideas?

I think you're right Jill. We've had Green Woodpeckers similar to these in our garden for the last month or so - parents and young. They are always pecking at the grass after the ants.
No idea Jill but its a great photo none the less.

well done on getting that photo :) Yes I would side with you - Adults and littlies :)
Fab pics Jill, you were lucky to get them eh :). I just saw Karens ones too, I have never seen a woodpecker in real life....I may have to come and camp out in your garden lol ;).xx
How lucky is that. I have never seen one woodie in our garden, much less 3.
