I'm hoping that this bird can still eat (it looks healthy) but I have seen pictures of woodpeckers with beaks like hummingbirds! Some of the birds in the pictures had been captured so I am wondering if the beaks could be trimmed (like fingernails). Still - it is very disturbing and I wonder how many die without ever being observed.

This is a bit distressing. Poor bird.

It saddens me when I read, and see, things like this and wonder at just how much damage man has, and is, causing wildlife through pollution, etc. Flighty xx

I wish you could see such sights Flighty! This spring has been amazing for the flocks of geese flying over. I never saw this a few years back so maybe there is still hope for London!

Lucky you as such sights aren't seen here in London! A pair of ducks flying low over the allotments is all I get to see. Flighty xx

Hi Anvilcloud: I think they were quite rare in these parts. Maybe we will be seeing more and you'll get to see some too.
Yes, winter seems to have returned with a vengeance hasn't it?

Thanks Daffy. I had never seen such a sight here in Montreal like this. I would love to photograph geese on the nest too.

The pictures you have posted are amazing.. We don't see anything like that here. At the moment some of the geese here at the Lake district are on the nest.

I too was reminded of kids 'slurping' their spaghetti. I wonder if the dandelion flower was the treat - like icing on a cake?

Absolutely beautiful images!
